I am sorry to hear about your daughter.The easiest method to obtain temporary custody is through Chapter 651 FLorida Statutes . It allows temporary custody by an extended family member on a temporary basis. It continues until such time as the paretns file an action to terminate the relationship.
If the parent(s) agree it is a relatively easy procedure.
Best of luck,
