When grandchildren age out of grandparent care

My grandson graduates next month and is going to college and I am so proud but also terrified about being alone again after nine years of raising him.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Successful caregiving creates its own loss as independence marks both achievement and the end of intensive purpose and daily connection.
