Extended description

When a grandchild dies, grandparents experience a dual grief: while mourning the death of the beloved child, they also grieve for their own son or daughter. At the same time, grandparents receive little support from family and friends, most of whom are comforting the bereaved parents. When a Grandchild Dies offers support, comfort, and encouragement to grieving grandparents.

After having both a miscarriage and a stillbirth in a nine-month period, Nadine Galinsky Feldman turned to books and support groups to help her with her grief. Astonished to find that few such resources existed for grandparents, she reached out to several to hear their stories. For many, it was the first time anyone had asked them about their experiences.

When a Grandchild Dies offers tips on communication with the bereaved son or daughter, in-laws, and grandchildren, as well as ideas for maintaining good health and sanity during one of life's most heart-rending experiences.
