08.01.2022 It is with great sadness that Yarran shares the passing of Margaret Smith. Margaret was the CEO of Yarran for over 13 years and was a hero to the famiies and their children that Margaret supported during that time. Margaret was firmly committed to the inclusion of our chiidren into mainstream childcare and to their staff which she dedicated her professional career to. Margaret will be missed.

07.01.2022 Chronic Sorrow References This is extracts from an article by Amy Kealiher is an adaptation of the presentation, Chronic Sorrow: A Key Concept in the Social-Emotional Care of Families and Their Babies in Early Intervention, Chronic sorrow is sorrow or sadness continuing over time in a situation that has no predictable end. Because the situation is ongoing, the sadness or sorrow is cyclic and recurrent. During the first three years following a diagnosis or recognition that ...our child has different needs, we often experience both acute and chronic sorrow. One of the most important elements of chronic sorrow is repeatedly experiencing the differences between the abilities of our child and those of his or her typically developing peers. Every family member grieves uniquely, in terms of pace, emotional expression, and ability to receive support It is normal to struggle with guilt, shame, or anger about your childs different needs as well as feelings of grief. Often we find ourselves needing to blame someone for what has happened to our child or family. Sometimes we direct this blame toward other family members or toward ourselves. Sometimes our extended families cannot or do not offer the support we need. Numbness, denial, depression and anxiety are common reactions after learning that your child has a diagnosis The grief about our childs disabilities can also bring to the surface past grief, When we are grieving, meeting the needs of our other children, our spouses, or our jobs can be difficult or feel impossible.

02.01.2022 Hey everyone I thought Id share this event with you. Its for a local charity too
01.01.2022 Chronic sorrow is about reality; the reality of responding 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the time of our childs birth or within the first months or years of his/her life. Responding to the special emotional, medical, and developmental needs of our child. Parenting a typically-developing child is an exhausting, anxiety-provoking task, which carries the rewards of watching the child develop attachments, play, grow, learn and move into the larger world. Parenting a non-ty...pically developing child carries more emotional exhaustion and anxiety. Chronic Sorrow: Will it ever go away? It gets better. Chronic sorrow ebbs and flows. It doesnt mean we will feel sad forever. It doesnt mean that we wont find joy and promise in our child with a delay or disability. Chronic sorrow means that we travel an emotional road that climbs and dips. We can live happy and fulfilling lives, but the grief that we experience on behalf of our child with special needs endures. Sometimes it can take us by surprise. We may find ourselves driving in the car or in line at the grocery store and suddenly overwhelmed with grief. And sometimes, for a while, it will disappear altogether. The most important thing to remember is that your feelings of loss, guilt, sorrow and/or anger are completely normal. These feelings are part of the process. They are part of our own special needs as the parents of children with special needs. Just as everyone grieves differently, the salve for chronic sorrow is different for every parent. Recognizing and accepting our sorrow is the first step. Only then can we use the tools to heal and strengthen ourselves as we accompany our child on this journey.

Maury, Ph.D.
