The Grief of Estrangement
A Two-Hour Workshop for Parents
Carrying the Grief of Estrangement
Postponed until further notice
I am postponing this workshop, as my guest, Lenora Scurry, had to have surgery. She is an expert in this area & I feel her being in the workshop will be a large benefit for anyone attending. As soon as I have a new date, I will post if. If you have already registered, your credit will be applied to the new date. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
There is a particular kind of loss that the world doesn't quite have a language for. Your child is alive. You may even possibly know where they are, and yet there is a silence within you that feels like a wall you cannot see over, cannot climb, and were never given a map to.
This is the grief of estrangement — and it asks something almost unbearable of you: to mourn someone who is still living, called ambiguous grief.
This workshop was created specifically for that experience.
If this date & time are not working for you, that's OK. As long as you register, but can not attend, you will be emailed the recording.
You can then watch it when it works for you & learn how to come to terms with the devastating pain of your estrangement.
Grief isn't only about death, this is crucial to understand.
-
Identify the alternative events that can trigger grief

Learn the significance of acknowledgement and expression

Testimonials
"I strongly recommend Pat Acklie-Roth for any of your grief counseling needs. I went to Pat because I thought I was grieving the loss of my mother. On week four, my focus completely changed, and it took me very much by surprise. When I discussed it with Pat, she said that if that is what my heart and head were telling me, then that is who we would focus on.
Pat gives you her full attention and is an intent listener. She guides you with grace and can provide examples when you get stuck or do not understand something. Pat uses her own experiences as confidentiality is one of her top priorities. I never felt judged or small. She genuinely cares about her clients and truly gives them her all.
Pat showed me new ways to cope with stressful situations and how to make more statement sentences instead of asking and not getting results. One of my favorite things she did was role-playing. It felt kind of silly at first, but when it was over, I had such a sense of relief and a lighter feeling that it is hard to describe.
Pat will also work around your schedule and plan session times that work the best for your life.
If you are struggling and need help, please reach out to Pat. She counsels with compassion, and you do not feel like you are just another client to her."
Yours in healing,
Daphne Wiegert
"I wanted to personally tell you what a Wonderful Job Pat Acklie-Roth has done for me, being my coach. She was by far a helping voice on the other line throughout the entire course. I enjoyed the lessons. But, connecting with my coach helped me to understand it all and guide me to reaching my dreams. Within the course, I quit smoking cigarettes and set many other goals that I can accomplish. "THIS OR BETTER" is now my favorite motto. I am lucky enough to have her for my motivating feedback."

"As a birthday gift to myself, I wanted to gain some perspective on some challenging events in my life. Pat's insightful questions, supportive demeanor and her reflections fully supported this process. I'm grateful for the four weeks I had with her guiding me through her program. Pat is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have met!"

"Pat Acklie-Roth will help you learn about the possibilities one can find in learning and moving forward in your grief journey. Pat has been very compassionate about her work and has helped me re-engage and restart myself into the present day and in planning actions on building my life into the future. I am experiencing good results and plan for more engagement of my heart, mind, and soul. She has helped me focus, as she herself is focused, compassionate and giving of her knowledge and experience, and she has certainly helped me find more balance."

"Hello to all of you grieving fans; I also am a grieving fan. I miss my wife terribly after 57 years of marriage. We all have come a long way. We also need counseling; I mean counseling we might think we don’t need, like I did; how wrong I was. I thought counseling was a group of individuals sitting around a table grieving to each other in hope that someone would give me the magic formula. There is no magic formula.
This is when I was introduced to Pat Acklie-Roth, a Licensed Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist & Certified Life Mastery Consultant. Her method (and I like) is communicating through Zoom. She is available 24/7 and can be reached at 956-586-0356. You may get the message, “I can’t come to the phone but leave a message”. I guarantee she will get back to you. I highly recommend Pat as a Grief Recovery Specialist and as a friend of mine for many years.
What special items that make Pat stick out most of all is that she is a Christian, shows how God is behind all that is happening, & is a great listener. She adds a personal touch by gifting me, as a bonus, a Memory Bear made from my wife’s garment.
I sign this recommendation with Grace and Peace."

How do I know this is possible?
I lost my son, father, mother, brother, husband & sister. I contacted the Grief Recovery Institute & became a Grief Recovery Specialist.
After taking my clients through the Grief Recovery Method Plan, I also encourage them to dream for a new life. We have the power within us to meet new situations with our heads held high & rebuilding our lives.
I know because I have been through tough times, but used them as opportunities to grow. I can do the same for you.
