There certainly is a parallel, again, to families who have a child born with a special need. There is again the ambiguous loss, because the dreams you had for that child--and in my experience with my daughter with her injury--and the reality are very different. It's not that you don't love your child, but the system again has to adjust and adapt around that, and we need resources to manage that.
