I'm struggling to come to terms with the latest diagnosis.

Hello, my son has been diagnosed with brain damage along with 15 other diagnoses. I'm struggling to come to terms with the latest diagnosis. He is 6 next week and I have a daughter too. 
Thought I'd say hello to other people who have been in the same boat as me x

You can do this you will find strength you never knew you had
Look in a mirror when you get out of bed and say the words " I can do this "

Hello and welcome to the community I am glad you have joined us and hope we can offer you some support. 

it must be very hard to come to terms with for you and your family  you need to be there for each other and also take every bit of support offered that you can .

The hospital should be able to give you support suggestions and speak to your GP
