[quote=Anonymous]It's extremely difficult tbh. My kids lost two grandparents at a young age (8 and 6) and it was really hard. The years leading up to their deaths were hard too. I was pulled in a lot of directions and felt so, so overwhelmed. My mom was diagnosed with dementia when my daughter was 2. That's the only version of my mom she knew and it breaks my heart but she still loved her grammy dearly. As far as missing out on childcare from parents, we had to build our own village, not the same, but necessary. I definitely found myself resenting the friends who had built in support from grandparents during the toddler/preschool years(especially the ones who would complain about their kids getting too many cookies from grandma etc.).[/quote]
