Two acronymns have come from this trend, GRG for grandparents raising grandchildren, and GAP for grandparents as parents. You may be raising your grandchildren, a role you never expected. How will you find the energy you need? Will your health suffer? Are you raising your grandchildren "right"? This engaging resource blends Harriet Hodgson's unbelievale story of multiple losses with research findings and caregiving tips. Though the book came from the heartbreak of her daughter's death is is filled with hope. At the end, you'll cheer for all the loving grandparents--including you--who are putting children first.
