I asked the question because there are 4 million grandparents in the US raising their grandchildren and I don't know how many others raising children that aren't their own. There are a lot of grandparents on this Board, and I thought some may be in this position. Honey, what you did was sooo important! I'm sorry to hear about a suicide. That is heartbreaking.
Being a grandparent and taking care of them is a big time and energy commitment. I applaud you both for helping to care for the next generation. Our children are the future and they need some values to go forward with.
