What happens when the people who were supposed to love you... don't?

Family estrangement is a silent epidemic—rarely spoken about, often hidden in shame, and deeply misunderstood. Whether you've stepped away by choice or been pushed out without warning, the grief of losing family while they are still alive is complicated, isolating, and real.

In When Family Breaks, Lauren Christine offers a compassionate roadmap through the pain of family estrangement. With honesty, research, and gentle guidance, she helps you:

  • Understand the roots and realities of estrangement
  • Navigate guilt, shame, and the longing for closure
  • Rebuild identity when old roles and ties no longer define you
  • Choose peace—whether reconciliation is possible or not
  • This book is not about blame. It's about healing. It's about reclaiming your sense of self when family ties fracture, and learning that even in the absence of reconciliation, you can still create a life of love, safety, and meaning.
