Did your parents divorce or separate? Are you still struggling with the effects of your family's breakdown? No matter when or how it happened, you are not alone, and there is hope for healing! All adult children of divorce or separation - and those who love them - are invited to a virtual morning day of reflection hosted by Stella Maris Center and featuring Dr. Daniel and Bethany Meola, co-founders and directors of Life-Giving Wounds, a Catholic apostolate dedicated to the spiritual healing of adult children of divorce or separation.
Topics include:  

• Naming and grieving the wounds caused by parental divorce or separation
• How parental divorce or separation affects a child's identity, sense of self, and faith life
• Advice on creating a strong marriage even when your parents' marriage didn't last
• The role of redemptive suffering in bearing the lifelong wounds of parental divorce
• What Christian forgiveness is and isn't, and pathways toward forgiving your parents
