We are 5 weeks in so far, and I've been surprised and disappointed to see how few resources exist for #NICU parents, especially as relates to long-term NICU parents whose children are not preemies. There do not seem to be pastoral care resources out there either -- not a guide for clergy of any faith, nor a guide for parents, save for one book (which I have read, and don't recommend).
Of course, now I have a new mission to educate and a new book to write... and I look forward to someday being able to share my thoughts "in hindsight." In the meantime, I'm grateful this was posted by Today Showyesterday. Yes to all of this.
