When the people you love most feel farthest away, how do you keep living? Estrangement from adult children is one of the deepest heartbreaks a parent can face. The silence on the other end of the phone, the empty seat at the holiday table, the birthdays missed — these moments cut deeper than words can describe. In Still Standing: Finding Strength and Grace Through Estrangement , April Lynn shares her unflinchingly honest story of loss, grief, and resilience. Part memoir, part guide, this book is both a hand to hold and a light in the dark for anyone navigating the painful road of separation from loved ones. With raw honesty and hard-earned hope, April Lynn invites readers into her journey while offering practical tools for: Coping with the day-to-day ache of missing your children - Handling awkward questions from friends, coworkers, and family - Finding strength during holidays and milestones that amplify absence - Rebuilding a sense of identity, purpose, and joy in midlife - Cultivating grace, healing, and peace — even when reconciliation feels far away More than a memoir, this is a book about survival, renewal, and the quiet power of standing tall in the face of heartbreak. Whether you’re in the middle of estrangement, supporting someone who is, or simply searching for a story of strength through struggle, Still Standing will remind you that you are not alone — and that even in the darkest chapters, it is possible to find grace.
