Search - Day By Day, Children tell their journeys of faith and determination living with a sick sister or brother

Day By Day Children tell their journeys of faith and determination living with a sick sister or brother
Author: Christine Frisbee

Children who have a seriously ill brother or sister are very unique. They share a large part of themselves, each day, with someone who needs more care than they do. Often considered the forgotten ones, the book, DAY BY DAY, depicts how siblings of seriously ill or challenged children, through their experience, can learn to embrace the challenges... more » of their exceptional situation, ultimately allowing them to transform into strong, spiritual, and caring people. Often they arrive at insights that can help the whole family grow. By reading their stories, it is clear that most children are not resentful of their experience, but rather grateful for the lessons learned. They are happy to offer advice in order to help others faced with that same situation. They have a very poignant message...if we listen. Christine Frisbee, whose young son Rich died of leukemia in 1989, was inspired by the strength of her four other children during such a difficult time. She asked them each to write stories about what it was like for them to have a terminally ill brother. Their resilience is the inspiration for the book DAY BY DAY. Mrs. Frisbee began to collect stories from children around the country who had a seriously ill sibling, asking them to share their stories of hope and faith. The stories were then compiled so that children, parents and caregivers could learn from their experiences. They are the angels sent to us for knowledge. They are innocent and honest. Through the eyes of children we can see without distortion. It is through listening to children that we learn what we need to hear. Once we hear we must respond so that each child has an opportunity to grow in a healthy way. Through the children s strength we often find our own strength. We must not shy away from discussion or stay removed from the reality of what is happening. -Christine Frisbee It is estimated that between 14 million and 16 million families live with a child who has a chronic illness, yet there is little available to help with the many emotional issues that surround them. The brothers and sisters of seriously ill children watch silently from the sidelines with little assistance from the world. Yet they live lives emotionally way beyond the expectations of normal family existence. Never put into a book before, in DAY BY DAY, Christine Frisbee gives siblings a voice, allowing them to tell their own stories. We hear their wisdom, courage, anger, isolation, sadness, joy, spiritual growth and acceptance. Each chapter also features Christine s insights and experience to help families create a deeper understanding. The mission: to bring understanding and hope to families with a seriously ill child as well as to educate others about how to take a difficult situation and use it to make you stronger and wiser.
