The Pain of Estrangement Won't Always Feel Like This

Will the pain of estrangement ever go away? If your adult child has stopped talking to you, cut off contact, or created distance in your relationship, you may wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again. In this episode, I'm talking about what healing from an estranged adult child actually looks like — and why healing doesn't mean you stop loving your child, missing them, praying for them, or hoping for reconciliation. After walking through a 10-year estrangement with my own daughter and now helping thousands of moms navigate difficult and estranged relationships with their adult children, I know how consuming this pain can feel. But the way you feel today is not necessarily the way you will always feel. We'll talk about why waiting for reconciliation before allowing yourself to heal can keep you stuck, how the pain of estrangement changes over time, and what happened when my prayer shifted from "God, please make this pain go away" to asking God who He wanted me to become while I walked through it. Healing is possible — even while you're still waiting. 💗 TAKE THE FREE EMPOWER MOM QUIZ If you're a mom struggling with an estranged or difficult relationship with your adult child, the Empower Mom Quiz can help you identify where you are in your healing journey and what your next step may be. 👉 Empower Mom Quiz: www.sally-harris.com/EmpowerMom  If you're feeling ready for support and want to learn more about working together, I invite you to start with a short application.
