Good things are on the horizon . Never lose hope. Rosy
This is Danielle Garrigan from PPMD. I work with Ryan. I hope all is going well! Could you send us via email your address so that I can send you a Parent Pack? You can email me at danielle@parentprojectmd.org or Ryan with it. Thanks! Have a great week!
I'm in Michigan as well. I also sent you a friend request with my number if you want to talk or have any questions. We are 3 1/2 years into this now. My son Daniel is 8 1/2. I remember how hard it was at first and the questions I had were so many. Hang in there, it does get easier, I know the shock is so hard those first months. I remember it like it was yesterday. You will find so much support here and answers to many of your questions.
Take Care and feel free to call me anytime.
Karen
Regardless...I am so sorry that you had to find your way here, but you have found the best place to deal with this. These early months are so hard. Know that this really is a grieving time and process and allow yourself to treat it as such. You and your husband will be in different places as different times. You will deal with it very differently. It's ok to be angry, it's ok to cry, just know the time and the place. Your son doesn't know life has changed for him, so it shouldn't. If you want someone to talk with I can certainly share my phone number with you or feel free to email me anytime. jlshumsky@comcast.net If your husband needs to talk "man" with someone, my husband is always willing to talk. His name is Frank and his email is fshumskyiv@comcast.net Hang in there, take it minute by minute when you need to, day by day otherwise. I'm 3 years into the diagnosis....it does get easier, you do see the blessings in this, I promise.
God Bless!
Welcome to the site. I live in MN now, but I grew up in Grandville MI and worked in Zeeland for a while. I miss the area so much. My son is 7.5 and just finished his first trip to camp this year. Please let us know what we can do to help you. There is a huge Michigan community of parents. Be sure to find the group and join. They will certainly help you navigate your way around.
