Rewriting Your Story (e-book) (used book) | Anna Strand | bookbook.eu

Description

Has a rift with your child left you feeling lost, heartbroken, or invisible? Written by a parent who intimately understands your pain, Rewriting Your Story offers a compassionate and practical guide for parents navigating the profound pain of estrangement.

Parental estrangement is a unique grief, often compounded by silence, stigma, and a lack of resources. Author Anna Strand draws upon years of personal experience with estrangement and her work with other parents facing this unique kind of loss. Begin to understand the complex emotions that accompany this difficult journey-from confusion and blame to anger and profound sadness.

This isn't a book about reconciliation, though it doesn't rule it out. Instead, Rewriting Your Story empowers you to shift your focus from what you can't control to what you can: your own healing and well-being. Strand provides a roadmap to help you:

• Acknowledge and process the multifaceted grief of estrangement.
• Challenge self-blame and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
• Understand how self-compassion is vital for healing.
• Reclaim your identity beyond the parent-child relationship.
• Cultivate resilience and find renewed purpose and joy.
• Build a supportive community of others who understand.

Through insightful exercises, reflective prompts, and stories of parents who have navigated similar struggles, Rewriting Your Story validates your experience and offers a beacon of hope. It's time to release the narrative of shame and regret and begin crafting a new chapter-one where you are the empowered author of your own peace and future.
"A vital resource for any parent grappling with the silent sorrow of estrangement. Strand's empathetic guidance is a true gift." - Eleanor Vance, parent of an estranged adult child
