...for Life THIS IS THE YEAR... Dear Unplanned Grandma, You are not alone. Right now, you may feel overwhelmed and confused or angry and upset. Whatever emotions are running through you right now, just know that you are not alone. Your daughter is not alone. There are ways through all the complicated details that seem uncertain and overwhelming. I recognize that you might be sad because this is not what you imagined for your daughter. You didn’t anticipate being an instant grandparent without an engagement ring and a wedding. The dreams you had for your child may look a bit different with the recent news of a baby coming along. But don’t worry – God has such an incredible way of re-writing dreams and re-organizing details. Once you hold that new little baby in your arms, like the moment you first held your child, it will all make sense. What matters right now is that you express your unconditional support to your child and that she knows you won’t abandon her. No matter what your relationship has been in the past, no matter how frustrated you might be, right now what she needs is your relentless love and support. She is probably very scared and unsure of herself. She might even be considering an alternative solution to having this baby. continued on page 43... WWW.PRO.LIFE | 1 (800) 858-3040 | 919 S.
