I know how much this hurts.
The silence. The rejection. The not knowing if they're okay. Wondering if you'll ever hold your grandchildren again.
Some days you're crushed by guilt. Other days, you're angry because nothing you did was bad enough to warrant this. Most days, you're some exhausted mix of both.
You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're a mother whose child walked away—and that kind of pain doesn't come with a casserole or a funeral.
But I also know this: staying in the pain won't bring them back. And it won't bring you peace.
There's a path forward. I've walked it.
And I want to take you there.
You see, I've lived this—from both directions, and come out the other side.
When I was younger, I was misled and chose to believe it. I found evidence of what people had told me, so I thought it must be true. I started looking at my relationship and the memories I have with that person through my new viewpoint. It made me grow cold toward a parent. I blamed them for much of my pain and had nightmares for 20 years.
Years later, my own child cut me off and completely removed their young family from my life. I lost their spouse and my grandchildren that day.
By God's grace, both relationships are in a great place today! But I made all the mistakes, and I walked through fire to get there. And what I learned—about my child's perspective, about my own blind spots, about how to find the way that God wants us to go was worth it all.
Now I guide Christian mothers who have been cut off by their adult child to prepare to reunite. I offer real understanding with systems and frameworks that work.
I'm Marit Welker, a certified life coach, speaker, podcaster, follower of Christ, and someone who knows this road because I've walked it. My mission is to help Christian moms find the strength and joy that I have and live prepared to reconnect while they thrive in the wait.

The Five Things I Wish I Knew When My Child Cut Me Off, a free guide, includes some things that I learned that would have helped when my child cut me off. It starts with the basics.
They Think I'm Toxic! is for the mom whose child has rejected her, not because they were an abusive or neglectful parent, but because they've rewritten history and now call you abusive or toxic.
In this five-day challenge, I help you begin to see yourself the way God sees you. It's only 5 days, so it doesn't fix everything, but you may start to feel lighter, like many of my clients. It paves the way for future healing and transformations. This is the beginning.
If you've been apart for a bit and are ready to get started, I offer a free five-day challenge called STILL HERE to help you in the first stage of growth and preparation to reunite. My goal is to teach you how to thrive while you wait. Five days of one-on-one video coaching will help you see the way forward.
I don't teach ideas. I teach what saved me.
I mapped the path for you, so you don't have to wander and keep making the same mistakes I did.
Now, it's your turn!
I don't teach ideas. I teach what saved me. I mapped the path for you, so you don't have to wander and keep making the same mistakes I did.
I don't want other women to suffer through this experience or make mistakes and lose their child for good. So I became a coach to walk other mothers through it who are ready to commit to making things better.
Let me tell you how this started.
I've been married 34 years, raised five children, and enjoy several grandchildren.
I've been through cancer, chronic illness, chronic pain, and a brain injury. I've wrestled with God through long, hard seasons—and come out the other side with stronger faith. I've spent decades studying scripture. I've sat with women in pain and walked with them toward healing.
And I've done my own deep work—the kind that transforms how you see yourself, your God, and your relationships. I've sought out extensive training and exceptional mentors, including industry leaders and specialized education in this field.
But what qualifies me most for this work isn't education. It's that I learned how to thrive while I waited, getting past the suffering even before my child cut me off. I learned how to thrive when things seemed hopeless. With that preparation, I had the strength and understanding to learn the path through and prepare for my child's return.
That's what I want for you- preparation and a joyful life.
Start with the free five-day challenge. You'll see how this approach works and how effective it is.
Don't try to go it alone. You'll go through too much pain and waste too much time. Let someone who's been there on both sides and is successfully reconciled guide you through.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
God is with you on this journey.
And I'd love to walk this path with you, too.
