Words of Wisdom from Other Parents

Whether your child just received a diagnosis or you’ve been traveling this special-needs journey for years, words of wisdom and encouragement are so helpful and have been a lifeline to so many parents. There’s something about hearing from other parents who are on the same path as you. There’s something about looking someone in the eyes and saying, “I get it. This is what we did.”

We asked our Rising Above families for some words of advice that they would give a new family just starting on this unique journey. Their responses were so beautiful, honest, and vulnerable. We wanted to share them with you here! We pray these words are a comfort to you.

We know these words will be a blessing but ultimate peace and restoration can only come from God and His word. If you’re looking for scripture-based encouragement, try these videos linked here!
