Author ('Without My Mum'), Mother, Founder of 'Without My Mum' private Facebook group.
Leigh Van Der Horst, an Australian mum of 4, lost her beloved mother to cancer in 2008. Then a 32 year old mother to 3 young boys, Leigh felt as though her world had fallen apart. After picking up the pieces and completely re-building who she was, Leigh set about creating a best selling book called ‘Without My Mum’ for others who had experienced a similar loss in the hope that they would not feel alone in their grief.
Leigh, now a qualified Nurse, runs a private Facebook group for Motherless Women ('Without My Mum), offering a safe space to grieve and be supported whilst supporting others.
Leigh hopes that by helping women worldwide, they can begin to believe in themselves and to live their best lives.
