Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, a long way from home.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of sitting beside my mother as she died, the complicated longing for a mother that can remain with us throughout our lives, and how our earliest experiences of love can shape the way we imagine God. I also explore the unexpected role Mary, the mother of Jesus, played in helping me discover a God who had been there all along—holding, nurturing, giving birth to something new, and mothering this motherless child.
