Motherless Mothers: Malton woman starts support group for mums

The community group provides resources such as articles, guides, book recommendations and self-care tools.

It is also planning to do advocacy work in the future – creating public awareness campaigns of the challenges motherless mothers face, training healthcare professionals and advocating for change in government and the NHS.

Ms Kirby-Jones says she thinks her mum would be proud of this work.

“I know she would be devastated that her death had such a profound impact on us, but that’s because we loved her so much.

“She would be thrilled that from something so awful we are turning it into something really powerful.

“We always say she was like Princess Diana, she was very mild and calm in temperament.

“Everyone’s mums are special in some ways. I do feel my mum was very special. But I probably now only appreciate quite how special she was now that she’s not here. Calm, gentle but secretly very strong.”
