I am a bmom. I chose to reliquish at 16 yrs of age my son. I also had no family support. The best advice I can give you is to allow your daughter to see & say Hi & good bye to her child. Everyone needs closure.She will resent you for not allowing her to.
I think the biggest issue most bmoms have is the "not knowing".
Not knowing if your child is dead or alive. Not knowing how they are doing. If you daughter decides to have an open or closed adoption it is her decision. If you can do anything to make this desicion easier for your daughter it is to make sure it is an INFORMED desicion. She might also seek counseling through this.
By no means can she ever "put it behind her". This is not just a mistake she made, this is a life she created. This is a life that she will be making a life decision about.
I hope that your daughter makes the best decision for her & her child. Keep us updated.
My best to you & your family,
melb
