For some, Mother’s Day is a joyous time when mothers are celebrated.
But, what if we are not yet a mother and desperately want to be? What if our mother is no longer living? What if our relationship with our child(ren) or with our mother is strained?
Sometimes Mother’s Day can feel more like a time to cry than a time to celebrate.
Today, we want to come together around the ways motherhood/mothering/mothers are hard — in community with others who may be having a similar experience. Join our supportive circles for an opportunity to reflect on the complexity of the word “mom” with other women* who are going through a similar moment.
These small circles will be facilitated by experts in the field who will hold space, share their wisdom and create a supportive and compassionate environment.
Rabbanit Dalia Davis + Rabbanit Aliza Sperling will gather us all together before we break off into separate groups. Stay as anonymous as you need.
Circles of Support
- Those who have lost their mother
- Those who have lost a child
- Those who are estranged from their mother
- Those who are estranged from a child/ren
- Those navigating fertility struggles and/or miscarriage
- Other ways in which Mother’s Day is challenging
Please invite someone you think might want to be with us, too.
