Hi, I’m Genevieve a proud grandmother raising my grandson full-time. Our journey began unexpectedly, with challenges I never imagined—like discovering my grandson was born exposed to methamphetamines during the COVID hospital restrictions. But through every obstacle, love and determination have been my guiding lights. This blog is my way of sharing our story, offering support, and connecting with other grandparents and guardians navigating the same path. Here, you’ll find honest stories, practical advice, and hope for anyone raising a child under extraordinary circumstances. Welcome to our community — you’re not alone.

Being a single Grandparent

Being a single grandmother isn’t easy it’s a whole different kind of hard when you’re older. The energy doesn’t always match the needs of the day, and some nights I go to bed completely worn out. But those little smiles, the laughter, and the “I love you’s” remind me why I keep going. 💕

I’ve also learned how important it is to take care of myself not just physically, but mentally too. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and our little ones need us healthy, strong, and at peace. So I’m learning to rest, breathe, and give myself the same love I give to everyone else. 🌸

💖 Taking care of them starts with taking care of me. 🌿 Learning to rest, not quit. 💕 Body, mind, and heartall need care too. 🌸 Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s survival. 🌞 Love them deeply, but don’t forget to love yourself too.
