Milwaukee, WI asked in Family Law for Wisconsin

Q: I'm not being allowed to continue help raise my deceased son's kids, his dying wish. Kids I raised pretty much everyday

I'm being denied for no apparent reason other than the mom trying to hurt me, played the same game with my son before his suicide May 13, 2021. The kids have been pretty much here since that day, and the other time spent at the Grandpa's house because the mom refuses to return the children and herself to their home, cause she feels she would lose it. I provide love and stability to the grandkids. Also financially, as my daughters do as well. Kids are always crying to be here with me and I love and miss them so. What can I do as a grandparent for visitation/ guardianship? As I stated, it was my son's dying wish to both the mother and myself
