Estranged From My Grown Children

My grown kids haven’t spoken to me in 2 years, as the holidays approach I get very sad they are not in my life. How am I going to get through the next 2 weeks? Any suggestions?

I can imagine how difficult this is for you. Please understand that It can only be their own disconnection from themselves that has created this desired distance between them and you. Consider sitting down and writing them each a letter expressing how you are feeling. Share with them your thoughts in detail along with your hopes and dreams, that in time they will regain their connection with themselves and feel comfortable enough with themselves to reconnect with you. Let them know that as their mother you respect, even though you do not understand their decision to cut off contact with you. Explain to them that as their mother you will always lovingly, unconditionally be there for them. Let them know that the door is always open to them when they are ready to walk through it and you will be there with open arms and a heart filled with love and acceptance.
