[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am touched by reading all the responses.

I know there is a group called Motherless Daughters. There is a book, a group, etc. I just cant bring myself to connect with that because its overwhelming.

I think if I went to a convention with a bunch of Motherless Daughters I might fall apart! At least at times...

I feel for the PP who lost her mom so young. This is exactly what I hope to avoid with my own daughter. Going for a mammogram tomorrow- somewhat overdue. Its taken me a while to separate my grief over my mother from my fears of cancer and the fear of abandoning my daughter. I dont want her to become another motherless daughter too soon. Whatever "too soon" is.

I keep hoping she can have me at least as long as I had my mom, till age 25. But its not like I get to put in a petition! Also I would not mind living a bit longer just for me. There is stuff I could do, etc. But what matters most to me is being there for my young daughter.

I do find that its part of my identity to be motherless but that being a mother has helped replace that feeling. That is the closest thing to filling the void that I have been able to experience. [/quote]
