Mothering Without Your Mum: Why This Postpartum Grief Runs So Deep – Motheroo Podcast
Motherhood without your own mother beside you is one of the quietest, least-named postpartum experiences — but research shows it has a very real impact on mental health. In this episode, we explore what happens when you step into motherhood without maternal support due to loss, illness, distance, or estrangement, and why the absence of a maternal grandmother is more than “just” emotional. Drawing on new studies of over 3,000 women, we unpack how grandmothers buffer against postpartum depression, why 1 in 3 new mums now start this journey without that support, and what early, grief-aware care can change. You’ll also hear practical ways to rebuild a support system when your own mum can’t be there, plus a reflective prompt to help you gently name your story and needs.Read the blog post:MotherooHQ.comFollow us:instagram.com/motherooHQinstagram.com/motheroopodcasttiktok.com/@motherooHQtwitter.com/motherooHQfacebook.com/motherooHQ
