Neurodivergent Dead Mums Club with Forever Yours Betty/ Sheri Scott

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of Mother's Day for those who have lost their mothers, particularly focusing on the experiences of the hosts and guests as they navigate grief and neurodivergence.

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. MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: Contains swearing, loud laughter, gallows humour, some high pitched sounds, and mentions of very sensitive topics including; trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and work struggles, mental health struggles, suicidal ideation, school struggles, bullying, greif, bereavement, Mother loss, violence…
