Are you personally dealing with a son or daughter who has broken ties with you or has totally turned away from the Lord? You are not alone. If you follow this link, you will find a compilation of the various ways our children can shatter our mothers’ heart, as their words and actions sometimes pierce more deeply than we could ever anticipate. If you are one of those mothers searching for a ray of hope that the Lord will heal this mess in your life, I pray you find it in this series of reflections and shared experiences. This series is most certainly not exhaustive in the numerous ways our children can pierce the very marrow of our being, but rather a heartfelt exploration of the emotions we encounter on this profound journey. These are simply the ones that were shared with me, stories woven together by countless mothers who have walked similar paths. My desire is to help you get through this challenging time. As mothers, we are in this together, united by our struggles and triumphs.
