If you've ever dreaded Mother's Day, felt blindsided by grief, or wondered why missing your mother never quite goes away, this conversation is for you.

Whether you lost your mother years ago or just recently, your relationship was loving or messy (or somewhere in between), this time of year has a way of bringing everything back up.

Join Jackie MacDougall and Hope Edelman—NYT #1 bestselling author of Motherless Daughters and The AfterGrief—for the conversation nobody prepares you for: grief, going on without Mom, and how to stop dreading the second Sunday in May.

Get The House Manual Today

The simple system that puts everything about running your home in one place so you can find what you need, stay ahead of maintenance, and stop telling yourself you’ll remember that thing later. Running a home comes with a ridiculous amount of information. Utility accounts. Appliance manuals. Warranty information. The contractor who fixed the roof two years ago. The paint color in the hallway. Where the hell the water shutoff is. The problem isn’t just collecting it all. It’s knowing where to find it when you actually need it. The House Manual gives every important detail about your home one permanent place.
