Build strong bonds, no matter the distance

When your loved ones are feeling far away, we're here

Please know, you are not alone

It’s unlikely that you ever wanted to be a long distance grandparent because, well, who does?

And, as life journeys go, we know this one is particularly difficult and especially emotional.

So, if you find yourself feeling:

worried your grandchild won't know you, or you them
like you're failing somehow, as if you should be doing more but don't know what
running out of ideas and not finding any good ones, even when you look for hours
grief for the loss of relationships that you've long dreamt of building
overwhelmed at the prospect of the journey ahead
conflicted by supporting your children's life choices at the same time as struggling with the consequences

Then, trust us, you aren’t alone. We’ve heard from – and worked with – thousands of grandparents who feel the same way. In fact, it’s totally normal to feel like this (and more!) and that’s exactly why The LDG Society is here.

What grandparents are saying about the LDG Society

Being a long-distance grandparent is HARD. I find the support from Kerry and the other grandparents invaluable. I don’t feel so alone! And the ideas I have gotten have helped me maintain a strong relationship with my granddaughter. I look forward to the guest expert talks and the Zoom gatherings!

Strong Relationship

I benefit so much from each part of The LDG Society. When I joined the group I was frightened that I would lose connection with my granddaughter. I knew just talking with video chat would not be enough. I also felt emotionally overwhelmed and isolated. I wanted information and wasn’t sure how to find it. The LDG Society has provided support in all these areas and is so much more than I had hoped for! I can’t thank you enough!

Emotionally Overwhelmed

My decision to join the Long Distance Grandparent Society has genuinely improved my relationship with my grandchildren and their parents in so many ways. I feel more confident in the ways I reach out to the children and more hopeful about maintaining our connection in spite of the distance. I feel supported when things don’t go as planned and inspired to continue my efforts to stay connected.

Improved My Relationship

I don’t know how I stumbled upon the LDG but is has truly transformed the way I communicate with my young granddaughters whether it’s thru Facetime/Snail Mail or In Person Visits. I look forward to the Connection Packs each month to see if there are new and exciting/creative ideas I can use to make my time with my granddaughters more fun and meaningful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this group – I’m so glad I joined!

So Glad I Joined

I went through almost a nine-year period of grieving my life without any grandkids close by. This membership has really given me renewed hope and a satisfaction that I can still be involved in my grandchildren’s lives, even though I’m not in the same town. I love the calls and the personal nature of hearing people stories. It’s such a great idea to have that kind of a group where we can share our wins and also our concerns.

Renewed Hope

The LDG Society makes me feel I’m a better grandparent by being creative with my grandchildren and I think my son and daughter-in-law appreciate that I’m taking extra steps to make my time with my grandchildren extra-special
