Grief

[Guest guest]

Ok, so when it finally hits you that your kid can't hear like the others, and

that it is so much work for him to understand anything you say, that he hears

" music park " instead of " amusement park " , and " honkey bars " instead of " monkey

bars " , that he doesn't know what an orange is or that all this time you've been

talking too fast for him to keep up with the conversation, when it finally hits

big time that this is permanent and isn't easy, what do you do with the

feelings? Sit here and cry? I just never had time to grieve about his heart;

it was either deal with it or he'd die, and after all that we had gone through

with that, we were just so happy to have him alive. But this is so different.

I don't know what else to say. What do you do with the grief? What did you

guys do with it and how did you get through to the other side?
