Finding your path after family estrangement

If you find yourself feeling isolated because you’re no longer in contact with close family—through no choice of your own—you’re not alone. Whether the rift began after a disagreement, life changes, or old wounds resurfacing, family estrangement brings a unique—and often unspoken—kind of grief. The loss of parental love, sibling closeness, or extended‐family support can leave you grappling with confusion, shame, and a deep, lingering sense of abandonment.

You may be a mother who is unwillingly estranged from your child, mourning not only the daily presence of your child but also the loss of the future you imagined together—missing out on birthdays, school milestones, and the hope of grandchildren. That absence can cut deeply, shaking your sense of self as a parent and leaving you longing for connection that once felt certain.

This service is designed for you if you’re struggling with:

Complicated Grief: Mourning not only the person you’ve lost contact with, but also the future you once imagined together.

Isolation: Feeling misunderstood by friends or extended family, who may not grasp why the estrangement happened or how deeply it wounds.

Shame and Self‐Doubt: Wondering if it’s “your fault,” replaying interactions in your mind, or hiding your estrangement from others out of embarrassment.
