No.
It is just a fact.
My condolences on your loss.

Not everyone you love, will love you back.
Find new folks to love: volunteer at an orphanage or food bank.
Or old folks home !
The people of this world are as hungry for love as you are.

Greetings, Robbin.

Feeling pain and hurt is not a sin. The only thing Scripture teaches is that you seek to put away the pain and hurt as quickly as possible, think on positive things, and seek to forgive so that there is no bitterness. It's a form of affliction (emotional), but the Lord promises that he will reward the faithful who endure affliction gracefully when all is said and done.

Blessings in Christ, and welcome to our forum

Hi RockinRobin and welcome to CF :wave2

No, it is not sinful pride to want to be close to your children. If you have done all you can do to reconcile with your child and they still reject you then all you can do is love them and pray that they will return to you again. Praying for you and your child :pray
