Helping women burdened by guilt, shame and estrangement to find hope, a healthy identity and healing so they can find freedom in their passion and purpose.
Helping women with estrangement conquer guilt and shame so they can experience peace, learn how to forgive and set boundaries for healthy relationships.
Estrangement creates a deep sense of loss.
Separation severs your ties to your roots, identity and shared history with someone with whom you are estranged.
You often feel isolated, ashamed, feeling as though something is wrong with you. Those emotions are accentuated by negative things others are saying about you from a divorce or something else. You grapple with feelings of rejection, guilt, shame, anger, and questioning your self-worth. You wonder if God loves your or cares about what you’re going through. You long for a relationship to be restored but so much time as elapsed. Do you give up on them or remain hopeful?
Navigating these emotions and the triggers that seem to come from nowhere is challenging.
This isn’t a physical pain. No one is bleeding. But inside, where no one can see, is a heart that is broken. Filled with disappointment, grief, guilt and shame, you often feel isolated and alone with your feelings.
You don’t talk about it because you feel like your family and friends don’t want to hear it, and you don’t want to burden them with it. If they know the other person, they may not see or understand how you’ve been hurt.
So you endure the cycle – being OK, getting triggered and pulled back in the negative cycle, working your way out, and waiting for the next wave you know will come.
