Online Group: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
May 26, 2024
There is no meeting in May. Next meeting is on June 23, 2024.
This group meets the 4th Sunday of the month at 6 p.m. Eastern.
This group is for surviving parents and stepparents who are actively raising their grandchildren.
We request you sign up at least 24 hours before you attend your first session so that we can ensure the integrity of the group and answer any questions you may have. Sign up is required only once!
Remember the love, celebrate the life, and share the journey - all while knowing that you’re surrounded by the compassionate care of fellow survivors who are also raising grandchildren.
This online group is for surviving parents and stepparents who are actively raising their grandchildren and are the sole legal guardians and sole caregivers due to the loss of those children’s mother and/or father (due to any cause of death and/or circumstance).
This group is not for other family members that are raising kids that lost both parents, nor is it for grandparents that want more information about being part of their grandchild(ren)’s lives after a loss.

What to Expect
Online groups are peer-led, facilitated sessions where there’s never pressure to share, but always an opportunity. Whether you attend once or regularly, you will always be welcomed. We value the importance of knowing that there are “places” we can show up and feel supported and inspired, and you can decide to connect with us every week or whenever it’s convenient or compelling.
Please remember that, while we anticipate that these groups will become engaging, encouraging community gathering “places,” you never have to wait if you need to talk. We’re always here for you, 24 hours, 7 days a week, year-round, at 800-959-TAPS (8277).
