Here We Go Again

When life asks grandparents to step in during crisis, everything changes. Here We Go Again gives voice to the quiet courage of those who say yes when the world asks more of them than they ever imagined.

Drawing from her personal lived experience and the stories of grandparents from all walks of life, Mary Scheidegger offers a compassionate and deeply human look at unexpected caregiving. This book explores the grief of letting go of old dreams, the resilience built through daily acts of care, and the quiet pride that grows through the hardest seasons.

More than a memoir, this is a steady companion for the weary-a lantern for the road ahead. Each chapter offers space for truth-telling and renewal, along with reflection prompts, grounding practices, printable affirmation cards, journaling pages, audio meditations, scripts for tough conversations, a glossary, and practical resources.

Whether you're a grandparent, kinship caregiver, or someone who loves them, Here We Go Again is a celebration of everyday courage and the unbreakable bond between generations. It reminds caregivers that while this path can be heavy, they do not walk it alone.

An invaluable resource for libraries, community programs, social workers, counsellors, family service agencies, and anyone supporting kinship families... perfect for gift givers looking for meaningful, heart-centred nonfiction
