GRAND LOVE - Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
By Judy Turner. As seen on Today Tonight, Channel 7.
An increasing number of grandparents experience a dramatic change in their lives, sometimes overnight, when they go from being doting grandparents who can ‘love them and leave them’, to parenting grandparents with the full responsibility of raising their grandchildren twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The causes are varied - the tragic death of one or both parents through illness, accident or crime, or the inability of parents to care for their children because of marriage break up, mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse.
In Grand Love Judy Turner describes her own experiences raising her 14 year old granddaughter from age 5. She examines the enormous changes that grandparents face, the frustrating legal and bureaucratic barriers they meet, the lack of assistance they receive and the damage that some of the grandchildren suffer in the most important early years of their lives.
Beyond this Judy celebrates the enormous amount of devotion and dedication that grandparents bring to the task of meeting the many challenges of raising grandchildren and the inevitable rewards that follow.
