Chronic Sorrow and Childhood Disabilities - 09/16/12 09:56 AM
Intermittent sadness can last for days or weeks after a new diagnosis or a troubling event. Sometimes feelings can be overwhelming and we can lose sight of the possibility of future happiness or options that we never imagined.
The symptoms of depression in mothers of children with disabilities are not acknowledged or understood in the same way as a physical injury requiring treatment and accommodations. Mothers of children with disabilities have been said to experience chronic sorrow that intrudes into otherwise happy lives.
Please seek help for depression or hopelessness. You are a very important person and deserve support and encouragement to get you through difficult times.
