After the Tears: Parents Talk About Raising A Child with A Disability by Robin Simons. 89 pp. Preface states, "In parenting a child with a disability, you face a major choice. You can believe that your child's condition is a deathblow to everything you've dreamed and worked toward until now. Or you can decide that you will continue to lead the life you'd planned - and incorporate your child into it. Parents who choose the latter course find they do a tremendous amount of growing." Well-written book with sections on guilt and anger, adjustments, isolation, marital stress, relatives, siblings, other family needs, strangers, professionals, the school system, meeting one's own needs, chronic sorrow, communication, and personal growth. Highly recommended for both parents and professionals.
