The Support Journal

Mum Beside Her — The Support Journal 🤍

30 Days of Gentle Support for the Mum Who Is Holding So Much

When your daughter is struggling, so much of your energy goes into being there for her. But who is there for you?

The Mum Beside Her Support Journal was created as a gentle, private space for mums supporting a daughter through an eating disorder or a difficult relationship with food.

Across 30 days, this journal gives you somewhere to put down the thoughts, worries and emotions you may be carrying — while reminding you that your wellbeing matters too.

Inside you'll find:

- 30 days of gentle emotional check-ins and journal prompts

- Weekly reflection pages

- Self-care without guilt exercises

- A “What Is Within My Control?” reflection

- Appointment preparation and note pages

- Space to organise information provided by your daughter's care team

- Support for particularly difficult days

- Gentle encouragement for mums

- Space to identify the people you can lean on

- A final 30-day reflection and letter to yourself

- Additional notes pages

One of the most important reminders running throughout the journal is:

You are her mum. You don't have to be her entire treatment team.

You can love her, stand beside her and support her while allowing qualified professionals to carry the clinical responsibility.

This isn't a journal about being the perfect mum.

It's somewhere for you to be heard too. 🤍
