If you experienced early (25 or younger) motherloss we are here for you.  Motherless Daughters of Los Angeles was formed as a Southern California organization in 1996, based on Hope Edelman’s book “Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss” .  The book, which became a New York Times bestseller, prompted an outpouring of letters from motherless women seeking information, support groups, individual therapy and understanding.  Finally we had a name, “Motherless Daughters”, and a framework in which to understand ourselves. 

Irene Rubaum-Keller, LMFT, psychotherapist and motherless daughter herself, started and continues to run the LA chapter. Since its' inception MD of LA has hosted annual Motherless Daughter's Day events, provided ongoing support groups and individual therapy for hundreds of motherless women.  If you, or someone you love, is a motherless daughter, we welcome you to contact us.  Let us know how we can help you.  And check out the new blog.
