  “ It's always nice to be able to share what's on your heart with people who understand exactly where you are and why you feel that way. It's a great place to ask questions and share your experiences of loss and grief. It's relieving to hear other people say it's okay that I feel this way sometimes or just to have someone else cry with you. ”

• “ We've all experienced mother loss, and it is healing to be with others who truly understand -- because they've experienced their Mom's death. I'm hoping that women who have lost Mom in childhood and adolescence will begin to know about this warm and caring group. My Mom died when I was 18, and I know there may be a reluctance to talk. Only through grief therapy have I been able to open up about my relationship with my Mom and how lost I have been without her all of these years. I hope to be able to be there for all of the women in the group, and hope that young survivors may feel comfortable to attend at least one meeting in the future. ”

• “ I think the best fit for this particular group is women who have lost their mothers a while ago. This was the case for most of the women. It would also be a good fit for those who lost their mothers at a young age. It's a different experience, I believe, to have lost your mother before your relationship has made the transition from mother/authority to mother/friend as happens as you grow. So the loss is different. The format is a free-for-all conversation which may suit better the daughter who wants to have a place to remember her mom and talk about how family life has changed. In my opinion, grief support for someone who is newly dealing with a death requires a different type of support group. ”
