There is a kind of loss that few people truly understand.
A parent, child, grandchild, sibling, or other beloved family member may still be alive, yet absent from your life. The relationship may be fractured, severed, or painfully out of reach. You may find yourself carrying grief that has no funeral, no closure, and often very little understanding from the people around you.
This workshop was created for those navigating the heartbreak of parental alienation, family estrangement, and ambiguous loss.
During our 90 minutes together, I will share portions of my own journey to help you understand that you are not alone. We will explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual impact of this experience, as well as what healing can realistically look like moving forward.
