Reply with quote | #1 | I need help in how to deal with the grief I am dealing with. My grandson was born 2 weeks ago with criticall heart problems. And his parents are desiding to take him off of meds. I haven't & don't want to interfere, so how do I deal with their choices. I love my new grandson extremely, but others say I shouldn't be attached too him because of his condition. He has a older brother too whom I love also. Please help me find a way to deal with the heartache of this whole situation properly.
Our grandson has passed away. On July 29, 2007 by choice of his parents. It was the worst day of our lives. As we were told by our son to be at the hospital at 5pm so that us & her parents were with them. At 6:09pm our son & his ex finally show up. Then the gong show proceeded, needless to say her mother ruled the whole thing, it was all about their family. A circus of photographers from 7pm on. Then at 9:40pm my sons ex girlfriend said we weren't needed & our son didn't say a word to suggest we stay. This was all done because I didn't want my picture taken with my grandson on the day of his death. Needless to say we have no idea when we might see our 1 year old grandson again, as everytime we don't do what she wants we are punished. Her parents support her because they don't like to see us with our grandson. I pray other grandparents don't have to live like this. God Bless You All! |

Reply with quote | #2 | Hi,
I am so sorry for your loss. I realize that there is nothing that I can say at this time that will comfort you, but I hope that in time you will find peace.
There is a great resource out there, that in time you may wish to consider. It is called Compassionate Friends (http://www.compassionatefriends.org) it is a non-profit support group that helps people who have lost children. There is a special document that they have created for Grandparents: http://www.compassionatefriends.org/Brochures/grandch.htm
I hope that this helps you. My thoughts are with you.
Best regards,
