TLC for Parents of Seriously Ill Children Offers Hope to Cope

Author, Rita Gray, has “been there and felt that” as the mother of a seriously ill child. The terms “seriously ill child” and “emotional roller coaster” are synonymous. On September 25, 1996, she buckled her emotional roller coaster seat belt. “At times," she says, "the unforeseeable twists and turns of childhood cancer seemed to catapult me out of my seat. Eight words accurately describe this journey: Get in, sit down, shut up, hold on. However, eight alternative comforting words from Psalm 46:10 still firmly holds me in my seat: Be still and know that I am God.” Sharing comfort with parents through scripture and short, snippets of a fellow sojourner’s story, Rita gives parents hope to cope on their ride of a lifetime.
