The Living Loss: A Group for Adult Children Navigating Parental Estrangement
The Living Loss group is a 4-week group designed to offer support and skills to adult children who are estranged from their parents by choice or circumstance. Estrangement from a parent can bring a deep, complicated kind of grief—one that’s often unseen or misunderstood. This 4-week support group offers a space to name that invisible loss and begin making sense of it in the company of others who understand. Together, we’ll explore the emotions and experiences that often accompany parental estrangement, including guilt and shame, loneliness and misunderstanding, the challenge of creating healthy boundaries, and the complexity of grieving someone who is still living.
In this group, you’ll find understanding, community, and guidance as you learn to honor your experience and move toward a more grounded, authentic life.
**Estrangement is complex and occurs for a variety or reasons and may look different for everyone. For that reason, this group is appropriate for diverse experiences of parental estrangement. If you have questions about whether this group is appropriate for your unique circumstance, please do not hesitate to complete the contact form below and Taylor will contact you directly to advise.
