A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Barri Leiner Grant, who lost her mother in 1993, now works as a certified grief specialist and hosts "Unmothered Mother's Day" events through her organization The Memory Circle. Recognizing that society is largely "grief illiterate," she created these gatherings to help motherless daughters navigate the pain of Mother's Day. Grant leads retreats and support groups to provide a space for grief to be acknowledged and processed in modern society.
