So your child has just been diagnosed with cerebral palsy? I’m sorry, that sucks. It really does. No, your lives won’t be the same, nor will that of your child. I guess it’s still too early to be able to tell how things will be. It’s okay to mourn what could have been. We all wonder sometimes. Just remember to find the good bits in the current moment, however small or fleeting (given time, you really will find some).
And no, neither one of you did anything to deserve this. Even though I know you do, you shouldn’t feel guilty for this. Hopefully time will fade that a little. It sounds lame, and I know you want a reason as to why you and not someone else, but there really isn’t one.
