My focus is the financial and planning aspects of a special needs loved one, but I want to share this resource because it was so impactful for me. When my Emily was born, a day after I received the diagnosis a friend shared this blog with me:
Bloom, by Kelle Hampton, Enjoying the Small Things
This blog truly saved my life. Kelle’s daughter Nella was born a year or so before my Emily. She too had a post natal diagnosis, meaning she did not know her baby would have Down syndrome. Kelle eventually wrote a book called Bloom. If you’d like to check it out, here is a link to the trailer for the book.
