Hi, welcome
Life can be so hard and its usually hard on most people be it loss of lives, finances, employment or estrangements. The hardest part of family division is that if they are adults they have their own mind/rights etc and it not matter to them if you suffer not seeing your grandchildren, in effect grandparents dont have any rights, there's good and bad about that situation. I've been estranged from my youngest daughter 30yo for 4 years now (my decision) and I've often played out what would happen if she came knocking on the door. Firslty I wouldnt want to see any grandchildren if she had any, second, no seeing a husband or BF etc as I'd get attached and they could be used as weapons/leverages.
Last xmas I had a fall out with my sister and unfortunately her two daughters 29 and 27yo took her side, so I lost two nieces as well. I rang my sister and asked her if she had told her daughters not to get involved. She didnt. That means she ha=s manipulated them to destroy my relationship with them. I cant help but feel its evil. She's followed my mother in manipulation. So I feel your pain.
It might help if you want to discuss the reason for the fall out. Maybe there is a suggestion of two that we could mention.
For now I hope you feel better writing in.
