Very Helpful

I read this book while expecting a child with special needs. It helped explain some of what I was going through. The grieving, the denial, etc. I liked the format of personal experiences combined with the professional essays. Both were helpful. Some of the thoughts were extremely helpful, including the title, which says that my child is a different kind of perfect.
