Coping with Grief & Loss
A Virtual 6-week Support Group for Adults
Wednesdays, August 17 - September 21, 2002
6:00 - 7:30 pm
(Wednesdays - Online)
This will offer a safe place for adults to learn about the grieving process and to receive helpful tools & strategies to support themselves. We will cover that grief is a natural and specific response to significant loss and unique to each person. We aim to help participants realize that they are not alone as they walk along their bereavement journey.
A Virtual Check-In for Motherless Daughters
Saturday, May 11, 2024
4:00 pm EST
For many of us adult women whose moms are no longer living, Mother's Day comes with some heavy emotions. I understand the struggle and dread you might feel as the day looms closer, especially with the pretty upbeat 'happy' TV & media ads, cards, flowers everywhere.
I'm inviting you to step away from all that for little bit. Come and spend an hour with women who can relate.
We hold a safe, no-judgement space to share feelings, stories, and even a bit of laughter. I hope you leave feeling a bit lighter and affirmed that you are not alone, that you are part of a community of sisters who 'get it" and understand. We'll cover how to anchor yourself for the waves of grief and lean into your memories for support. Join us as we honor all our moms and share a Circle of Remembrance together.

In 2017 Spring, Christine felt a burden on her heart to specifically commemorate the life and memory of her mother as an adult daughter who was also now a mom. She searched for a service to meet that need. Out of that search, she learned of motherless daughters groups around the country and a few in the northeast, however none specific to women of color. This led to her creation of Remember Our Mothers, a program and community which helps women find peace and build resilience by drawing strength and wisdom from the lives and memories of their mothers.
Seeing the benefits of Remember Our Mothers, Christine sought to deepen her knowledge base by becoming a Certified Grief Support Specialist via the University of Wisconsin Graduate Studies Program. She also holds a bachelor’s in biology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and MA Certificates in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health. Her career experience includes serving sixteen years as Administrative Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston’s Brigham & Women’s Hospital and four years as Director of Family & Community Engagement at Randolph Public Schools.

Death of a Parent: Transition to a New Adult Identity
by Debra Umberson
This book sets out in clear and comprehensive terms what the death of a parent means to most adults--how it in fact functions as a turning point in our emotional, social, and personal lives. Drawing on her own groundbreaking research, in-depth interviews, and data collected nationwide, Debra Umberson explores the social and psychological factors that determine how this important loss will affect us–as a personal crisis or an opportunity for healthy change. Her book shows how adults, far from the “finished” beings we are often assumed to be, can be profoundly transformed by the death of a parent–in beliefs, behavior, goals, and sense of self–transformed in ways that will continue to affect us, for better or worse, for the rest of our lives. She is the only scholar to have published on the topic of parental death in adulthood using national data.

"It has been said that unlike death, grief is a living, breathing thing. One that must be tended to by those encountering it, in order to learn from it, grow through it and move with it into the rest of their lives."
