I’m estranged from my 32 year old daughter, my only child. Last night I went to week 1 of Griefshare, it’s great, I can see why it has helped many people and I’m proud of myself for going, because I’ve had pent up grief about many losses (deaths and mental illness in family that creates not having relationships with them). Even though I sat next to 2 people who are father-in-law and daughter-in-law to each other, and lost the son/husband by suicide recently, I only felt a low or moderate amount of “I don’t belong here", or "their grief is worse than mine/how do I explain my situation" because I’m grieving the death of my spouse or child. This is a huge step for me and I know it will help with a lifetime of loss and grief. Thank you for your time, and, I stand with you in solidarity with the pain of loss due to estrangement. If you want you can go to griefshare.org to find out more. It’s a 13 week program, free, no commitment, although they strongly suggest attending for 3 weeks before you make up your mind, and it might be that it can be done online if I remember correctly. (You can search your area to see if there will be one near you.) It isn’t all talking, although there will me some, it’s a 30 minute video followed by structured questions and answers that you can participate in or not, questions about the content of the video, and then you have homework. You can see a sample of the workbook on their site. There is a religious component, but it isn’t off-putting, and only meant to help. They often hold the meetings at churches I think.
