What happens when a parent dies and there are grown step children?

Nothing. Step-children and step-parents have no legal relationship.
Another View: It is not disclosed whether the step-children were legally adopted by the parent, or not. If they were legally adopted, they would have as much (or as little) claim to the estate as a natural birth-child.
If a will exists and you were not specifically provided for in the will, you have no claim on the estate.
If the parent died intestate you must contact the Probate Court to protect any interest you believe you may have in the decedent's estate.
Consult with an attorney over your particular circumstance.
