The Secret Grief of Estranged Moms: When Your Child Chooses Distance//The Secret Grief of Estranged Moms: When Your Child Chooses Distance 🌱
When your adult child chooses distance, the grief you carry has a name: ambiguous loss.
It’s a hidden grief—your child is still alive, but the relationship feels gone. There’s no closure, no ritual, and often no understanding from others. That’s why estrangement hurts so deeply and feels so isolating.
In this video, I share 4 powerful tools that can help you begin healing:
🌸 Practicing radical self-compassion
🛑 Setting emotional boundaries
🤝 Building a support network
🌱 Focusing on your own healing and growth
These steps will help you move from constant pain to hope and peace, even in the uncertainty.
