Her Community and Individuality
Connecting, Supporting, and Empowering Motherless Daughters
In the Columbus, Ohio and Surrounding Areas
Our Mission
​
Her Community and Individuality is a non-profit organization based out of the Columbus, Ohio area. We are dedicated to serving adult women who have lost their Mother early in life, by way of death. Our aim is to connect women who have lost their Mothers with others who have experienced similar losses. Our hope for the motherless daughter is for her to feel less alone in her grief. We further aim to support her throughout her grief journey by providing helpful resources, and empowering her along the way.
From the Founder
​
To all the Motherless Daughters who have found us, my heart is with you.
​
I lost my Mother when I was twelve. This loss changed my world. In so many ways. I've felt every single emotion there is to feel. All so deeply. I've been tried. More than once. I know what it is to feel completely alone in this world. And to bring yourself back. To be the only one you can rely on to keep yourself going. It's not easy. It's downright hard at times. But we do it, because we are their daughters. WE ARE STRONG! If they didn't have the opportunity to teach us, it has been passed down though our genes. We live our lives in honor of them! To do them justice. Because their lives were taken too soon. One way or another. They aren't here. But we are. We can live for them. For us. Carpe Diem!
​
Hugs and Love,

A Motherless Tribe
I’m a strong believer in sharing our hearts,
sharing our love,
sharing our thoughts,
and to my motherless sisters
who have lost as I,
our precious sweet mothers
who are no longer close by,
we can guide one another
and share our hearts,
share our grief
as we fall apart.
We can speak our sorrows,
make time to meet,
help each other
get back on our feet.
What we’ve lost
can never be replaced,
we long for our mother,
just to see her face.
I like to imagine my mother with me in spirit,
she’s in nature and beauty
and a bird’s song when I hear it.
Some of us sense our mothers close by;
some of us lose her completely when she dies.
Our experiences differ,
our beliefs aren’t the same,
but because we long for our mothers,
we know each other’s pain.
We are motherless daughters,
a tribe of our own;
let’s connect and share our stories,
we are not alone.
