Worries about future for my kids...

I am 61. My husband and I have 3 grown kids ages 32, 29, and 26. Our 29 year old daughter is married and has been for two years. Our sons at 32 and 26 are still single. Our daughter had a miscarriage in January of this year. It was our first grandchild and her first baby. It was a huge loss for all of us. It spiraled me into worry and anxiety that we may never have grandkids and also made me begin to worry about our sons possibly never finding the right person. They both are interested and would like to meet someone. Our older son has had several girlfriends in the past, but they did not work out. Our younger son has not dated anyone, but has tried looking on some dating sights and is active at his church. He just has not had any "luck." Am I being unrealistic to worry these things won't ever happen? I don't want my sons to be alone. I long for them to have wives and families. After my daughter lost the baby I was told this is very common, but it made me begin to worry that there is no absolute guarantee of grandkids for us. Any thoughts??

Count your blessings they are not seriously ill, as two of my children are.
I find the world I live in a much better place than when I grew up in London in the 50โ€™s.

I am sorry to learn that you have children who are seriously ill. Hugs to you. ๐Ÿ™

Desiderata (sp) quote is for wn62's post. I have no GC either.
