About this episode

https://nongrandparent.com/Those who deeply desire to be grandparents, and don’t reach this life milestone, often carry sorrow they keep secret from others. When Author Mary Ellen Miller became one of these people, She discovered there is no word to describe someone who is a non grandparent. So she coined the term non-grandparent herself and tells all about it in her new book Secret Sorrow “Expanding beyond my lived experience, stories from other non-grandparents are included that validate the hesitancy non-grandparents have discussing personal feelings. This book is groundbreaking. It is the first offering non-grandparents concrete ways of coping with their sorrow, including communication and self-care strategies.”
