A grandchild has died. The loss is almost too much to bear, and impossible to comprehend. When my grandson died in 1989, I was extremely angry! The usual questions arose: Why my kids? Why my family? Why this beautiful, healthy, loved, wanted child?
AGAST is an all volunteer organization dedicated to helping grandparents through the trauma, stress and grief after the loss of a grandchild. Here on our website you will find many resources to help you.
If you are a bereaved grandparent and would like to receive our packet of information on dealing with your grief and helping your children and other grandchildren deal with theirs, please fill out the information form by clicking here. We will send you a packet and add you to our mailing list to receive our quarterly newsletter.
NewsAGAST forum member Nina Bennett has written a book. After the stillbirth of her granddaughter, Nina searched for information on grandparent grief. She found minimal resources available. Realizing that there is a void in the grief literature, Nina drew on her professional background and out of her pain came Forgotten Tears A Grandmother’s Journey Through Grief. Quotes from leading grief authorities as well as bereaved grandparents, several of them AGAST peer support contacts, offer an intimate perspective on the challenge of redefining normal in a life forever changed.
Forgotten Tears is available through Booklocker.com. Royalties from books purchased through the link on the AGAST web site will be donated
to AGAST.
