Grief & Suffering Books

By: Carmen Willings
teachingvisuallyimpaired.com
Learning your child has a visual impairment or is blind can cause feelings of grief and sadness. People cope differently but it is healthy to acknowledge your feelings and give yourself time to adjust to your new reality. Finding support from friends or families, or seeking resources from professionals or other parents who have had similar experiences can help as you work through your emotions.
FamilyConnect provides suggestions for parents dealing with emotional impact of learning your child is blind or visually impaired. Sensitive topics they cover include:
  • Learning that your child is visually impaired
  • Talking to family and friends
  • Family relationships
  • Stop & take a breath
  • Equal time for all your children
  • When an older sibling is visually impaired
  • When people stare at a brother or sister

The following are resource books that on grief and suffering that may help you. If you have found other books helpful, please share them with me so I can include them here.
