When kids leave the house, parents breathe a sigh of relief, and perhaps even scream, “We’re done!” The years of sleep-deprived, in-the-trenches parenting is over, so they think. And then circumstances shift, and they find themselves raising small kids once again—this time, their grandchildren. The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Group offers a safe, nonjudgmental place to talk about the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that come with this unexpected territory. This free group is held on Wednesdays, 11 a.m.–1 p.m., at the Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund (MCCF) Family Resource Center in Fort Bragg. See tinyurl.com/yc4u7fxy for more information.
