Caring for a Motherless Daughter

The Motherless Daughters Ministry has been serving motherless daughters internationally for over 20 years. Some have deceased mothers.  Some have living mothers. These women have many different and many similar stories.  Some have lost a mother through death, some have experienced emotional absence, some have experienced mothers who have (had) narcissistic characteristics. All are motherless daughters.

We recognize there are many individuals like you who are responsible for motherless daughters and have become their caretakers.  Sometimes it was a choice.  Sometimes it was the only thing you could do.  Regardless of your circumstances, you are giving your love and attention.  Our hope is to create a support group for you and others who share similar burdens. 
Our question is who takes care of you? 
Thanks for your time and thoughts,
Pat Kuykendoll, Holistic Empowerment Leader
