When a grandparent has their child and grandchildren taken from them..

Every case of grandchildren being denied a relationship with their grandparents is heartbreaking,and I spend many hours thinking about them and why it happens, Ok there may have been an argument, a grandparent may have talked out of turn but why is it necessary to stop the children seeing them?

One of the worst cases is when grandparents have lost a son or daughter prematurely through an accident or illness, and then the parent who is left decides that the children can no longer see the grandparents of their partner who dies.

Loosing one of our children is something we all dread and it seems so unnatural for our children to die before us, but then to also lose the only connection of your child, your grandchildren it dreadful.

And I have many grandparents I speak to that this has happened to, the devastation they feel is enormous.

As if the children don't have enough to cope with when their parent dies their grandparents are taken from them as well.

I really don't understand at all.
