Love that you are tackling so many issues that grandparents and seniors are likely to face but won’t realize until it is upon them..

Thank you for sharing this and I have friends raising there grandchildren. I never thought of it but I need to volunteer to watch the kids so they can get out for a bit. Or even just do something in their homes they never have time for. Or take them a meal so they don’t have to cook.

Greetings, this is good information to help people be aware of grandparents challenges. I am not a parent or grandparent, but I do have a friend that works as a paralegal and is very familiar with grandparent’s rights, and they have been able to establish special visiting times with their estranged child to be able to see their grandchildren. Thank you for sharing.

Kate, 2 things pop for me. 1) We need different grandparenting skills than were needed 30 years ago. Life is not the same and children are not the same. 2) The Pennsylvania fact sheet is actually a wonderful, beefy 16-page resource book, and it is needed! Some of the languaging suggested it might be available for other states–something I will keep in mind.
