When your grandchild has been diagnosed with a serious medical issue, it opens a new and very different chapter in your relationship with your grandchild and with your own child.
New beginnings are never easy, especially when traveling in uncharted territory.
Your adult son or daughter will be on an emotional and physical roller coaster trying to juggle their time, energy, and resources in order to cope. Give them the gifts of patience and understanding, and your love, care, and concern. Some things are beyond our control including a diagnosis of a hereditary disease. However, we do have control of the attitude we choose to develop. A positive attitude will make a world of difference to yourself, your child, and most importantly, to the well-being of your grandchild.
