S2E29 Estranged: A Parent's Guide to Forgiveness and Healing Family Rifts

Friends, In this episode, I dive deep into the painful phenomenon of family estrangement, where adult children enforce no-contact orders with their parents, leaving many elderly individuals isolated from their families and grandchildren. I explore the emotional turmoil experienced by these grandparents and discuss the importance of forgiveness in healing long-standing family wounds. I share practical tips for sidelined grandparents on how to navigate the chasm created by generational differences and past conflicts and offer a series of steps to foster healing, including taking an inventory of past injuries, respecting boundaries, and seeking professional help when needed.
