Empower Your Love, Relieve Fear, and Transform Your Relationship with Your Struggling Child: From Worry to Warrior in 6 Weeks

Discover the Path from Fear to Peace

You Matter!

But it's really easy to get lost in the all the loss and grief you feel when you don't know if your child is alive or dead, when any day could be the day, when you see them alive but disappearing before your eyes.  It's agony.
 
If you're like thousands of us parents experiencing this, you want relief, you want a way to make peace and have peace with the relentless chaos and grief. But how? Is it even possible?

Does this sound familiar?

They're too far gone.
 
They'll never choose recovery.
 
I can't reach them anymore.
 
Nothing works.
 
I can't handle this anymore.
 
I'm just too exhausted.

Of course you have these thoughts and concerns.  Loving a Child Through Their Addiction is hard!  And Ambiguous Grief is one of the most stressful of all losses.


Which is why you need a place just for you to have it heard, validated, and find ways to heal despite the real pain you experience.

You CAN remind yourself that you are still living, still want joy, need your health, have your own life to live ... and live it! 
 

Imagine how it would feel to ...

Restore your peace

Renew your hope

Build your resilience 

Be present in the rest of your life beyond addiction

Find meaning beyond the grief

Honor your child's story beyond the addiction

Create a new story with more peace, love and joy in your own life.

Yeah right, huh?  How is that even possible, you might say?  

The grief of losing a living child day by day is not going away, and we can go in directions that spark love within so we can shine it out no matter where or how our kids are. 

 

The real reason you think it might not work is because these thoughts we have have us convinced they're true, they've been carving paths in our brains for so long every day.  But, you are far more than your thoughts.  

This needs a mind, body, spirit overhaul. You need a way to make sense of the thoughts that drive all the fear, guilt, worry, anger and find what is truer, and so importantly, how to apply it in your life.  

It is definitely not that you're not capable of healing.

 

It is definitely not that you can't heal.

 

It is definitely not dependent on your child's condition. 

 

You matter!  You have all you need to create the healing and take care of your grief, because it needs it, you need it.  

Learn how to find balance and peace within the grief you feel.

 

Learn how to use grief to remember love.

 

Learn how to honor grief with doable actions that ignite your love and honors your child in new and meaningful ways.

What Other Parents Are Saying...

"Your letters are a huge 'sigh of relief' for me.
Please keep me on your mailing list. The last ones have truly helped me through and are still doing the same."

"I’ve taken Joanne’s group in the past and it was intense, calming, loving, accepting.
I’d highly recommend it to anyone in need."

"You still come to my mind, and I want to thank you for the time you gave me to help me learn a new way of thinking.

Your meetings were impactful and made me somewhat less of a black and white kind of thinker.

It is a gift from God through your presence and teachings. Our daughter is growing and healing. Life is not perfect because substance abuse leaves a path of destruction and many patterns to unlearn. Yet, there is much gratitude for the light and less darkness."

"Yesterday had to be the best meeting I think I have ever been in. It was so helpful for me. My biggest struggle is fear. It is so hard to get past. So many of the things you spoke of yesterday resonated with me."
