Join Kenzi Locks, LCSW, HWC, Director of Program and Educational Development at Yesh Tikva, Dr. Marian Getzler-Kramer, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, and Rebbetzin Judi Steinig, Senior Director of SPIRIT & the Savitsky Growth Initiative at the Orthodox Union, for a thoughtful conversation about the often-unspoken experience of waiting for grandparenthood. This discussion explores the emotional complexity that can accompany this season of life, including hope, grief, uncertainty, and helplessness, as well as the delicate balance between longing for grandchildren and respecting the boundaries of adult children and their partners. Together, they address how infertility, pregnancy loss, delayed marriage, and other family-building experiences can shape the journey toward grandparenthood. Topics include navigating difficult questions with sensitivity, offering support without pressure, managing personal emotions, and maintaining trust, connection, and emotional safety within family relationships. The conversation also touches on the impact of communal culture, simchas, holidays, and comparison within Jewish life, while providing practical communication tools and supportive language that help loved ones feel seen, understood, and respected. Whether you are waiting to become a grandparent, supporting someone who is, or looking to better understand this often-overlooked experience, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and meaningful guidance.
