Navigating mother loss can be a lonely and isolating experience. The breaking of the mother daughter bond is something very few can truly understand. Motherless Daughters Australia connects women of all ages to share their experience in a safe and friendly environment.

Through our online Private Peer Support Group and community events, we provide the avenues for women and girls to connect and be open about their experiences as they grieve and acknowledge their experiences. 

Join the Motherless Daughters Australia community and connect with women who ‘get it’.

Friends In Grief has been developed to connect motherless daughters with someone of similar age, location and circumstances.

It can be empowering to connect with someone who has a similar shared experience, and we hope introductions made through Friends In Grief will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 
If you'd like to connect with another motherless daughter from our community, simply complete this short survey to get started, then we’ll do the rest. We look forward to finding you a match!
