title: Grandparents' guidance.
abstract: This article looks at the less well known casualties of some family breakdowns; grandparents who have lost contact with grandchildren on the divorce, death or separation of the parents or on the placing of their grandchildren in the care of the local authority. Although health visitors may feel their immediate concern is with the children and parents in such circumstances, their increasing work with older people will make it necessary that they appreciate the feelings of grandparents and are also able to offer practical advice.
