It’s often said that grandchildren are “the dessert of life” for those of us who have them. And we can attest to that! They are a delight to our hearts and lives! You have all the fun without the responsibility (unless you are raising them, of course).

But what happens when these children, who delight your heart so much, are torn apart by divorce? What happens to your ability to be able to be such a big part of their lives in the present and future — particularly if your son or daughter doesn’t have custody of the children (and there is a huge relationship strain involved which puts you on the “outs”)?

It’s heart-breaking enough for all involved — especially the children. They are no longer able to have both parents living with them in the same home. But then, not to have the ability to have their grandparents as involved in their lives like before (or maybe not at all), it makes life even tougher for them.

We would like for you to read an article, written by Rachel Pollack, which was posted in the St Petersburg Times, so you can gain a clearer understanding of this situation. Prayerfully you can make a positive difference for some grandparents and their grandchildren in the future by learning what you will.
