00:05 Is everything else alright?
00:12 It's been quite hard.
00:19 A lot of new mothers feel overwhelmed.
00:22 Especially in the first few weeks.
00:25 It gets easier.
00:27 It's not that exactly...
00:30 I just have so many questions and no one to answer them.
00:34 Not medical questions, Faith.
00:36 Motherhood questions.
00:41 And I know I have wonderful friends who are also mothers.
00:45 But for some reason I...
00:49 I want to ask my own mother.

00:58 Rosemary...
01:01 You are a daughter without a mother.
01:03 I'm one too.
01:07 Faith...
01:09 You know, when I was in my residency,
01:11 in the maternity ward,
01:13 I came to understand that one of the hardest roles to play
01:17 is a motherless mother.
01:21 I've never heard that term before.
01:24 (baby cooing)
01:28 Yes, I am.
01:31 Yeah, it makes sense.
01:34 I've never had more love inside me.
01:40 But I've also never felt so afraid.
01:49 (baby cooing)
01:51 When did you lose her?
01:55 I was five when she left.
01:57 I barely remember.
01:59 And then she never came back.
02:01 I was 18 when I found out she had passed.
02:05 (scoffs)
02:08 I don't know why all these feelings are coming up now.
02:11 Grief is unusual in that way.
02:14 It doesn't know time.
02:17 Grief?
02:19 Rosemary, I think you might be grieving the loss of your mother.
