My 4 year old grand daughter was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with an incurable brain tumour...only expected to live for a few months. She is the middle child of 3. My daughter, son in law and granddaughter are being very brave ..however their way of dealing with it is by shutting the family out. They don't want us to visit as they say they cant cope with family and friends. Not only am I totally devastated by the news they will not accept help, and I , plus other family members are being denied access to our beloved granddaughter in what may be her short future life. My son and husband say I must just accept their wishes...but I need help in coming to terms with it. I would like to hear what other grandmothers think, and how I should deal with it. I have always had a close relationship with my daughter and seen the children on a weekly basis, so no way do I want this to jeopardise the future .
