Navigating the pain of grieving a mother who is still alive can feel isolating, confusing, and deeply emotional. In this video, we explore the reality of ambiguous loss, emotionally absent parents, mother wounds, and what it’s like to mourn the relationship you needed but never truly had. We discuss the mental health impact of going no contact, healing from childhood emotional neglect, and learning how to cope with complicated family dynamics. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your mom while she’s still living, this conversation is for you.
