ADHD AF Neurodivergent Dead Mums Club with Forever Yours Betty/ Sheri Scott
Forever Yours Betty returns to ADHDAF in far less happier circumstances but at least we are in this club together. Today is Mothers Day in the UK, which can be incredibly challenging for many reasons. Sheri/Betty and I lost our Mum's two months apart last year and decided to share our experiences to help others (who we wish weren't) in this terrible club know that they're not alone.
Our intention for sharing this crucial conversation is also to help raise awareness about how ADHD and AuDHD can impact grief and vice versa, how Mother loss can impact our identity, the light that has helped us through the darkest of times, and to demonstrate the power of Peer Support. We are all in this together!
This episode is dedicated to Sheri's Mum Mags, my Mum Jennifer, to all Mothers, to all who find today challenging, and to all of us in the Neurodivergent Dead Mums Club.
