Peace of mind

Peace of mind has been described as positive outcomes reached through understanding and the comfort of knowing that a son or daughter will receive lifelong care. For some parents, peace of mind provided insight with lasting values and an understanding of what really matters.

Each parent experienced a different journey; they faced personal challenges and through determination made positive changes in their lives. Their challenges included managing crisis, coming to terms with acceptance, learning how to cope, welcoming challenges, strengthening family life and playing a role with a 'family' of people providing lifelong care - in different ways they found peace of mind.
