Why Does Watching Others Reconcile HURT So Badly?//Have you ever felt a wave of grief after seeing a mother and child reunite—especially when your own child still won’t speak to you? You’re not alone. In this heartfelt video, I’m opening up about why watching reconciliation stories can hurt so deeply for estranged moms.
We’ll talk about the emotional rollercoaster of comparison, the silent grief that gets triggered by social media, and how to protect your heart while still holding on to hope. If you’ve ever thought, “Why them and not me?” or blamed yourself for the distance in your relationship, this video is for you.
It’s okay to be happy for someone else while still hurting for yourself. You can honor your pain and your journey without shame. And I’ll share how you can begin to cope with those big feelings in a healthy way.
