Mother’s Day can be challenging for those who have lost their mom. This event hopes to create a space where people can come together to grieve, reflect and share resources. Contributing authors will provide a presentation and book reading of My Mother’s Story: Gone Too Soon, and there will be an opportunity afterwards to discuss and mingle. About the book: Gone Too Soon is a courageous collection by adults who experienced the loss of their mother in childhood or adolescence. It offers the rich, lived experiences of mothers and bereaved children in Canada, the USA, the UK, and South Korea. Even though their paths are unique, the anthology contributors traverse difficult emotional terrain together to more definitively answer the question “Who was my mother?” Collectively they transform the narrative from feeling a mother’s absence to finding her presence. Learn more about My Mother’s Story: Gone Too Soon. Copies of My Mother’s Story: Gone Too Soon will be available for sale, and other free resources available at this event. The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to Marta Lefsrud, Community Education and Projects Lead, at marta.lefsrud@islandhealth.ca
