Linda Blachman

Linda Blachman has been a writer and public health professional for twenty-five years, specializing in the fields of maternal and child health and community mental health. The abiding passion of her professional and personal life has been mothering—its value, meaning, challenge and opportunity in contemporary culture. A pervasive theme of her work has been the importance of valuing and caring for the primary caregiver who, in most families, is a woman.

In 1995 she founded Mothers’ Living Stories, a nonprofit project that brings compassion, dignity, and support in parenting to mothers who have cancer by helping them record their life stories as living legacies. After almost a decade of listening to ill mothers, Linda wrote Another Morning to bring these women’s remarkable stories to a larger audience. In her private practice, she’s a personal historian, public health consultant and counselor for life transitions.
