Template letter to try and regain contact.

I have been asked for a template of a letter to use when writing to a grandchild's parent, in a hope to regain contact. You can use this and jiggle it about a bit for your own personal use.

Template for a letter to try to regain contact.

Dear………..,

I just wanted to write to see if there is a possible way forward to enable us to talk or see ………., and to begin to rebuild a relationship?

Not being able to be part of …… life is devastating and …… is missed beyond words by all the family.

By denying contact ………… is effectively being denied a relationship with the family representing half of his/her genetic origin, and identity.

Grandparents can be a valuable emotional and practical resource and support for grandchildren. Maybe you could ask ………… what they think about not seeing us?

If it was possible for you and ………. to keep in touch with the family, it will help ……. Understand his/her family roots , personal identity, links to all his/her family and a clear understanding of family structure and meaning across generations.

I really hope that we can all move forward , if not perhaps we could all consider mediation, for the sake of ……………

Looking forward to hearing from you,
