These days Grannies often do not live near their grandchildren. I am very fortunate, I live in the same village as mine. When the child is small the mother needs to be able to have a bit of help, in order to be able to carry out the ordinary tasks and to get a bit of rest and eventually to be able to enjoy an old hobby or two. This all gives granny the perfect chance to spend time with the grandchild. Your stamina will not last forever so you are unlikely to out-stay your welcome. This is a chance to be a valuable ally to your daughter, or daughter-in-law. A good granny may give advice, but encourage the new Mum to make her own decisions. The way we did it is not always the best way. Boost the Mum's confidence whenever you can.If the Mum goes back to work you may be able to mind the baby for her. This is a great privilege and means that your grand child will be brought up with the same family values as your daughter. Enjoy watching your grand child grow.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
