Across the U.S., grandparents are finding creative ways to social distance during the coronavirus threat. As director of congregational care at a Presbyterian church, Margaret Frothingham knows firsthand how parishioners are adjusting and finding unique ways to connect with each other and their faith during this uncertain time. As a grandmother, Frothingham is still learning the rules of social distancing.Up until a few weeks ago, her 1-year-old granddaughter routinely spent one or two nights a week at her house.Frothingham’s husband, an infectious disease physician, found a creative way for them to be together in person: a PVC pipe.The pipe is six feet long and cleanable. It allows them to interact one-on-one with Charlotte.When the grandparents aren’t walking with Charlotte, they’re weeding in the garden together.”I bring my gloves and my weeding tool and we stand out in the yard and she toddles around and we weed and we talk,” Frothingham said.Frothingham said while the virus creates a challenge for each person, the new situations also give us opportunities to make connections and a difference.”I think it’s a great time for people to reach out to each other, to sit and think about who comes to mind and instead of waiting to be called, to be someone who can call,” Frothingham said.Watch the video above to learn more about this story.
