Living with a Seriously Ill Child

When a child is born with a life-threatening condition or becomes seriously ill, few families are prepared for what lies ahead. Parents can feel as if the very fabric of their lives is unravelling right in front of them while they stand by helplessly. In "Living with a Seriously Ill Child" Dr Jan Aldridge confronts the torrent of emotions experienced by parents and shows that despite the anguish, joy and love in abundance can also be present. She weaves together a picture with which many families will not only identify, but from which they will derive comfort and direction.
