When a long marriage ends, the role of grandparent doesn’t end—it transforms. Whether you share holidays, manage drop-offs between two homes, or try to stay close to grandchildren when distance or tension grows, this book is your steady guide. With warmth and realism, Constance Glenbrook Ferndale walks you through the emotional challenges—grief, guilt, and the fear of losing connection—alongside the practical logistics of grandparenting from separate houses. You’ll learn how to communicate with adult children without taking sides, create new traditions that honor both households, and handle common landmines like favoritism and financial requests. Most of all, you’ll discover how your unique presence can become a source of stability and joy for the next generation, even when your own life has been shaken. Rooted in the experiences of real families and grounded in thoughtful advice, this book helps you protect what matters most: the quiet, steady love that grandchildren carry into adulthood.
