A Time to Grieve

Parent Grief for Handicapped Children

When a child is born into a family, there are high expectations of life, love, and happiness. If the child is born with handicapping conditions, those dreams come crashing to the ground. How and if a parent survives this trauma depends on how he or she handles the grief. This book sets out to carry the parent on that journey of grief, pain, anger, and hopelessness with enough information to survive and come out whole for the benefit of the parent, child, and family. Until now, very little has been written on this unending grief.
