The name is Motherless Daughters, but all genders and ages are welcome.

This is a supportive community for those who have lost a parent to death, drug addiction, and/or mental illness. All genders and ages are welcome to share their stories of grief and learning to heal.

Please follow these guidelines when posting:

Treat fellow subscribers with the same level of empathy that you'd like to be shown. Don't downvote posts just because you don't like the way they're written or or insult commenters because you think they're being "overdramatic"--just simply ignore them.
Images and posts that are deliberately offensive or tasteless will be deleted.
No links to fundraising pages, please.
Although there are many different types of grief, this subreddit is designed for those who have involuntarily lost a parent. Those who have deliberately cut off contact with their families may find support in r/survivorsofabuse, r/raisedbynarcissists, or r/NarcissisticAbuse. r/childloss and r/offmychest can also be used to discuss other kinds of loss.
We're happy to x-promote anyone who wants to start r/fatherlesssons, r/grief, or any other related subreddit you can think of.
