Grief

Do grandparents have rights to see their grandchildren these days? Might it be worth getting some legal advice?

I think like a lot of us he didn't know how to cope with your daughters illness and you calling him out on his treatment of her made him feel guilty...my daughter has a serious illness and her husband is the same...he is often critical when she cant manage to do things he wants.Remember too that he was grieving his wife even before she died and his grief will still..like yours be raw.Maybe you could write to him or give a letter to his mum /family so you know he gets it and explain that it was your hurt and grief that made you speak out.Not that you were wrong but if you can apologise he may be more accepting of the GC seeing you.Tell him that you worry about them losing their mum and you as you have been so close.I hope you can work it out with him as I agree the GC need you more now than ever.I wish you well and I hope you and he can make your peace

I am so very sorry. May I ask if you got on well with him before your daughters illness ?

This is so sad! My heart goes out to you both. No advice, I’m afraid, but kind thoughts and virtual hugs.

this is heartbreaking.

No advice just so very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, debohun, I have no words of advice but just wanted to offer my deepest sympathy.

And my sincere sympathy to you MissAdventure

Hi, you can keep writing as much as you need to, and will find a lot of support and compassion here. I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter, and I can't imagine how it feels to have your grandchildren taken away too.
My own daughter died of cancer last November.
