125 // Surviving And Thriving with a Special Needs Child, with Stacey Mealy Part 1
Are you a special needs family, or do you know one? Have you understood the overwhelm and challenge special needs families face? Have you felt the joy, compassion, and richness that special needs families experience as the flip side to the pain?
This week my friend Stacey and I are opening up the doors into our homes and hearts, and sharing with you what it is like to be the parent of a profoundly disabled child. WE GET REAL. So grab the tissue box ladies.
We will share the struggles and the joys, and give some insight into how you can help a family in your community who may be very challenged with their own special needs child.
Special needs families must learn how to prioritize, manage stress and overwhelm, and build a supportive community in order to cope with the unique challenges they face. It is not easy and no one is trained for these challenges, so most are unprepared.
Stacey and her family have faced an incredible amount of difficulty, with their daughter Ava having to go through countless brain surgeries and other hardships. Despite it all, Stacey and her husband Chris remain strong and joyful, providing inspiration to those around their family.
I hope you will enjoy this time listening in on a heartfelt conversation between two moms who are doing the very best they can under extreme circumstances.
XOXO,
Katie
