There is a rising number of mothers who have had one or more adult children cut off relationships. Recent research describes the phenomenon as “epidemic” as more adult children are going “no contact” with parents. Common triggers, experts say, include politics, religion, lifestyle choices, and perceived emotional neglect or harm. But regardless of the reasons, the results of estrangement include grief and pain.
At Epiclesis, our desire is to provide a Tiqvah, a cord of hope: A new support ministry for women facing family disconnection.
“It’s a pressing need I feel that God has put on my heart,” says ministry leader Heather Bowes. “I’ve been on a journey of healing and want to be a source of hope for others. Four years ago, I fractured a relationship with my son and daughter-in-law, and I’ve learned that mothers coming along side one another is crucial to healing. I know one thing for certain: God alone brought me through the most heartbreaking season of my life. I want to walk that difficult road together with you.”
The ministry support group meets each Wednesday at 6 PM at the Epiclesis Chapter House (7985 Park Drive, Fair Oaks). More questions? Email Heather.
