Description

When parents receive the diagnosis of a child’s disability, their entire world narrows drastically, shifting into a moment-by-moment existence. Suddenly, they are overwhelmed by medical terminology, endless daily appointments, school-related concerns, and intense grief for all of the experiences their child may never have. They may also mourn the loss of the joy and identity their whole family once shared. In the chaos and constant uncertainty, parents wonder if they’ll ever feel “normal” again, or experience happiness as a family once more.

This book guides parents along this challenging journey, assisting them in making the transition from simply getting through each minute to gradually reclaiming day-to-day stability and discovering their new normal. Sharing her family’s own deeply personal experiences, the author serves as mentor and compassionate guide, preparing readers for what they can expect in this emotional landscape. Through clearly outlined touchpoints, parents will gain practical skills and emotional insights to confidently manage unpredictable situations, embrace God’s presence and unique purpose for their families, and rediscover hope, joy, and peace amid life’s new reality.
