[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lamenting about not having grandchildren is a valid thing. It's actually a tremendous loss. People will say a lot of dumb things like: 1. Volunteer with kids 2. Find children in your neighborhood 3. Get a hobby 4. Get a life 5. Don't give up, they might have them. ( They aren't. ) Yeah, none of these things, which everyone can do with or without grandchildren, replace the loss of what was to be the continuation of family. The loss of the next generation, the joy of watching one's kids raise kids, to be in their lives, to be grandparents. So, just stop. And, yes, no parent should pressure or expect their kids to provide it...that makes no sense regardless. [b]That doesn't mean there isn't a real and present palpable loss. [/b] [/quote] Please note everyone this is not a loss, it's a sad acceptance. Remember to use your correct words.[/quote]i consider it a loss. [/quote]
