When Grandparents Get Canceled (And What to Do About It)

Wednesday, May 14 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
The sense of loss when grandparents are cut off from children and grandchildren can be devastating. Join JGN and licensed marriage and family therapist associate Rachel Haack for gentle and loving ways to address the pain and take small steps toward reconciliation.

Together, we will explore:

The reasons that families become estranged, including warning signs
Why there is social support for cutting off a parent and the concept of “virtuous victimhood”
Helpful ways grandparents can mentally frame their situation (Hint: “Fair” doesn’t factor in)
Why it is helpful to see ourselves as 100% responsible for the relationship
First steps toward reconciliation
Long-term estrangement and how to cope
Rachel will also recommend helpful books and articles.

We invite you to send your questions in advance to Terry Kaye, [email protected] We will keep them anonymous. Rachel will address as many questions as she is able to in our time together.
