Parents with estranged (meaning no contact or limited contact) adult children often suffer and grieve alone. It’s common to think “it’s just me” and have feelings of shame, anger, confusion, disappointment and grief.

Holidays and special days are especially painful. There are grief triggers everywhere – holiday movies and commercials; people talking about their plans and asking about yours; memories of past special days with your family.

The purpose of this gathering is to learn strategies to help you cope with the holidays and connect with other parents that understand what you’re going through.

Note: This gathering is limited to parents of estranged adult children.
