In this brief video, Hope Edelman—author, speaker, grief and loss coach, and small‑business owner—welcomes viewers to the Motherless Daughters community, a support network for people who have lost their mothers. She shares her personal story of losing her mother to breast cancer at age 17, which inspired her first book, Motherless Daughters, now in three editions, and mentions her newer title, The After Grief: Finding Your Way on the Long Arc of Loss. Edelman outlines the community’s purpose: to provide companionship and reassurance that members are not alone. She lists the array of programs available, including weekly support calls, online support circles, in‑person retreats, free webinars, and a special Mother’s Day call. The video ends with an invitation to join and a heartfelt expression of empathy for anyone grieving a mother’s loss.

Hi, I'm Hope Edelman, and I'd like to welcome you to this page and to the Motherless Daughters community. I'm a writer, a speaker, a grief and loss coach, and a small business owner. If you're here, it may be because your mom died either recently or in the past. And if that's the case, I am so, so truly sorry. It really is a loss like no other. 30 years ago, I wrote the book Motherless Daughters because I couldn't find a book for girls like me. I was 17 when my mom died of breast cancer, and in the 30 years since then, the book has come out in 2 more editions. I've written several other books, including my most recent one, The After Grief: Finding Your Way on the Long Arc of Loss, and I'd like to introduce you to the larger community We have all kinds of programs. We have weekly support calls. We have online support circles. We have in-person retreats. We have free webinars. We have a Mother's Day call. We're here for you to help walk with you and companion you on this journey and remind you that you're not alone. There are many of us walking by your side. I hope to see you soon. Bye.
