What do you do when you've lost contact with your child... and your grandchildren?
In this heartfelt episode of Estranged & Rearranged, Candi Morris sits down with author, support group leader, and estranged mother Lenora Scurry to discuss the pain of family estrangement, the healing process, and what it truly means to let go without giving up love.
Lenora shares her deeply personal story, including the childhood trauma that shaped her parenting, the heartbreak of losing contact with her only daughter and grandchildren, and the difficult journey toward accountability, self-reflection, and emotional healing.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Family estrangement and healing
• The difference between accountability and self-blame
• Letting go of control without letting go of love
• Childhood trauma and parenting
• Grief, loss, and rebuilding your life
• Support for estranged parents
• The importance of finding community
• Life after estrangement
Lenora also shares a moving poem written for estranged mothers that reminds us we are more than our heartbreak and that healing is still possible.
If you're an estranged parent, grandparent, or someone struggling with family separation, this conversation offers understanding, compassion, and hope.
You are not alone.
