Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing account of how families adapt to living with a chronically ill child What is it like to live with a child who has a chronic, life-threatening disease? What impact does the illness have on well siblings in the family? Myra Bluebond-Langner suggests that understanding the impact of the illness lies not in identifying deficiencies in the lives of those affected, but in appreciating how family members carry on with their lives in the face of the disease's intrusion. The Private Worlds of Dying Children, Bluebond-Langner's previous book, now considered a classic in the field, explored the world of terminally ill children. In her new book, she turns her attention to the lives of those who live in the shadow of chronic illness: the parents and well siblings of children who have cystic fibrosis. Through a series of narrative portraits, she draws us into the daily lives of nine families of children at different points in the natural history of the illness—from diagnosis through the terminal phase. In these portraits, as family members talk about their experiences in their own words, we see how parents, well siblings, and the ill children themselves struggle, in different ways, to contain the intrusion of the disease into their lives. Bluebond-Langner looks at how parents adjust their priorities and their idea of what constitutes a normal life, how they try to balance the needs of other family members while caring for the ill child, and how they see the future. This context helps us understand how well siblings view the illness and how they relate to their ill sibling and parents. Since the issues raised are not unique to cystic fibrosis but are common to other chronic and life-threatening illnesses, this book will be of interest to all who study, care for, or live with the seriously ill.

Download or read book Shadow Child written by Randall S. Beach and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of the impact of childhood chronic disease on siblings and families. Each year, thousands of families are faced with the specter of childhood chronic disease. Despite often being labeled as "lucky ones," childhood chronic diseases take a severe toll on the healthy brothers and sisters of the sick child. Feelings of fear, jealousy, resentment and extraordinary responsibility are common among such healthy siblings. These children and young adults can feel emotionally neglected within the family structure. Shadow Child explores all of these impacts in the context of the author's relationship with his younger brother. Shadow Child is the story of the author's personal experience as a healthy sibling of a brother inflicted with Type 1 Diabetes when he was four years old (preceded by Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when he was two). The book focuses on the impact that chronic diseases such as diabetes have on the families of the inflicted child, and explores how various interfamily relationships change due to the introduction of chronic disease.

Book excerpt: Despite the rise of clinical interest in posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic stress in children, there has been little attention paid to the impact of sibling death as a traumatic event. Although there is much evidence that children suffer long-lasting consequences of such trauma as divorce or the loss of a parent, the loss of a sibling has not been the topic of substantial clinical or research attention. The sibling relationship has only begun to receive research and theoretical attention. The complexities of the sibling bond as it changes and evolves over the life-span have only begun to be explored. The death of a child has generally been considered one of the most stressful events encountered by families in our society. The chronicity of illnesses such as cystic fibrosis is in a sense new, an outgrowth of recent advances in medical treatment which have considerably extended the lives of children stricken with leukemia, cystic fibrosis, HIV-infection, diabetes, and others. This book explores the long-term consequences of chronic illness followed by the death of a sibling on adult adjustment. The illness and loss of the child will have a direct impact on the siblings, dependent upon their own capacity to give meaning to its occurrence and to mourn the loss effectively. In addition, the sibling's world will be inexorably shaped by the handling of the illness and loss by the parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [A] valuable addition to the literature on chronic paediatric illness... The book provides an in depth understanding of the path through chronic illness, illustrating the obvious effects on the child, but also the parents, siblings and the family as a whole across the spectrum from the psychological and social to the physical... There is much to be learnt from this book and it deserves careful reading.' - from the Foreword by Hilton Davis, Emeritus Professor of Child Health Psychology, King's College London Parents of children with chronic illnesses experience 'extreme parenting'. Parenting under extreme circumstances, like an extreme sport, challenges us to find our true strengths, to push ourselves physically and emotionally. This book is a guide and a source of support for parents of children with long-term illnesses. Sharon Dempsey argues that by helping parents to cope with their child's condition we are ultimately helping the child, and that parents are better able to live a full, enjoyable life if they have an awareness of strategies and knowledge to cope with the difficulties of dealing with their child with a chronic illness. The guide is packed with practical advice, models of exploration and lists of action points, and will empower parents to be good advocates for their children. It will also provide health professionals with invaluable insights into the demands of living with chronic illness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between siblings is considered one of the most significant of all human relationships. Therefore it is not surprising that research has focused on the psychological impact of childhood chronic illnesses on siblings. Findings within this field of research have been mixed owing to methodological shortcomings. The review paper addresses these shortcomings by focusing on papers that have used sibling reported psychological outcomes for diseases that are similar in their medical sequelae: Asthma, Type 1 Diabetes and Epilepsy. The review suggests siblings are at no greater risk of psychological difficulties than those not affected by sibling chronic illness. These findings are explained by coping and adjustment, and risk and resilience theories. Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a life transforming chronic illness which is associated with a number of medical complications that impact on the whole family. The psychological impact of childhood SCI on the injured child's siblings has not been researched. The empirical study focused on the experiences of children living with a brother or sister with SC!. Eight participants (4 male, 4 female) aged between 7 and 18 years were interviewed using a semi-structured interview, concentrating on their unique experiences and understandings of having a brother or sister with SC!. The qualitative method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data and three main themes were identified: "Life interrupted", "What about me?" and "My safety net". Results are discussed in relation to attachment, and coping and adjustment theories.
