Mary Ellen Miller

Those who deeply desire to be grandparents, and don’t reach this life milestone, often carry sorry 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 non0grandparent 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.   https://nongrandparent.com/
