055  Motherless Daughters Ministry blogger and volunteer podcast Team member, Dottie Menkhaus, shares her reflections on two decades of journeying through mother loss. From a young teenager to being a woman in her thirties, Dottie has grieved her mother longer than she lived her life with her mother in it. Dottie's vulnerability and generosity shine through in her retelling of rituals and celebration of her mother's life.

For more than 20 years The Motherless Daughters Ministry has touched the lives of women who have lost or never experienced the nurturing care of a mother.  Click HERE to register for “The Journey Retreat: Healing the Wounds of Mother Loss One Step at a Time.”
