Does anyone know how to cope with estrangement from a much loved and adored GC. At aged 1 she named me, she carries my name but my daughter has decided that 'we're done' so I have not seen her beautiful face, heard her voice or held her since we holidayed with her and then I looked after her while her Mum was ill. I love my daughter and miss her so much ( she would ring me several times a day ) and whilst I do understand her hurt from the divorce ( 15 +years ago) , I really have no idea what it is that we have done that she would so suddenly separate us from our adored GD . My sisters ,who saw me with my GD just before this happened , are trying to connect with them but they are as helpless because she refuses to communicate. The pain,well frankly my husband cannot remember what my face looked like , my eyes are permanently swollen and damp and I work with children all of the time , so my lower lip is covered with bites in an effort to stem the tears when a child does something that reminds me of her . I simply cannot believe that the girl I raised, who lovingly welcomed us to her home and life feels that it is a good thing to do for anyone concerned . Estrangement should be something that people avoid in families at all costs (unless there has been abuse) . I was taught never let the sun set on an argument , a lesson I thank my mother for but I honestly do not know how to look forward when the large black hole of grief seems to overshadow every thought, hope and waking ( and sleeping) moment .
