The death of your grandchild is like a double edged sword. You grieve
for the death of a baby whom you cherished; a baby whom you had hopes
and dreams for. But you also grieve the death of your own child, the baby's
mother or father. For the baby's parents died with the baby. Not physically,
but figuratively. Your own flesh and blood, the person whom you once knew
your child to be, will never be again. Your child has been transformed
in a moment of time into a new person. An overwhelming grief has touched
their lives. It is a time of confusion, anger and frustration for many
grandparents. Offer your unconditional love and support. Go to support
group meetings with your child and go to a grandparents group for yourselves.
Remember your grandchild on special occasions such as his or her birthday/death
day, Christmas and Easter. Send your child a Mother's Day or Father's
Day card reminding them that they are still the parents of the precious
child, always loved but now lost. Share their pain with them, even years
later. It will surely create an even deeper bond of love, appreciation
and fortitude withstanding the passing of time and circumstances.
In Peace and Memory of our Beloved Children...
