"How do you tell children something like this? About two disasters?!"

A report on 27 children who lost both parents on October 7, and the grandparents who chose to raise their grandchildren. They cope with double bereavement, difficult questions from the children, and the daily challenge of renewed parenthood at retirement age.

Yael Odom's report on the main news broadcast presents four families of grandparents who chose to raise their grandchildren after their children were murdered on October 7. 27 children lost both parents on that day. The report focuses on the double difficulty: the grief of losing a son or daughter, alongside renewed parenthood at retirement age. Eti Geta is raising her grandchildren Nave and Rif after her daughter Stav was murdered at the Mefalsim junction. Gila and Reuven Chen from Kibbutz Maoz Haim are raising their granddaughters Manor and Neri after their parents were murdered at the Nova festival. Eti and Eli Bracha from Kiryat Ekron are raising Eliav and Rafael after their daughter Gal and her husband Naji were murdered. Dorit and Yuval Or, aged 75, are raising their grandchildren Noam, Alma, and Yahli after their son Dror and daughter-in-law Yonat were murdered in Be'eri, and two of the children were kidnapped to Gaza. The report reveals the difficult questions the children ask, the moments of crisis, and the strength the grandparents draw from the children.
