When we are considering estranging from family, or we have been estranged from a family member, the idea that it remains unresolved can be very challenging. Navigating terminal estrangement- when a person dies before we reconnect- can be extremely difficult.
In this video I share my thoughts on the topic, from the perspective of an adult child who has chosen estrangement as the only option after lifelong abusive family relationships.
I am sure there are no easy answers. Equally, I think that when we are faced with two wrong answers (and no right one) with reflection, it is possible to find some element of peace and acceptance.
I believe everyone will find their own path, and if/when we make a 'wrong' decision, we will know and can act to make amends.
It is my hope that by sharing my thoughts it will help others navigate the painful and soul-searching decisions around estranging from family. By careful consideration we can also be prepared for more difficulties around end-of-life situations.
Whatever life circumstances bring you to this video, I hope the content is helpful to you. Please take care of yourself, and extend grace and kindness to whomever you can in this situation.
