Food Allergy ResourcesDealing with Emotions when Your Child is Diagnosed with Food Allergies
By Linda Marienhoff Coss Keep in mind that it is normal to occasionally feel jealous of your friends’ healthy children and "normal" life. It is also normal to go through a "grieving""period when your child is initially diagnosed with food allergies, and again each time there is a significant (negative) development in your child’s condition. Don’t try to deny these feelings, but don’t let them overwhelm you for very long, either. Stay focused on the positive, and know that you can keep your child safe and help him or her to grow up to be a healthy, well-adjusted adult. If these feelings do overwhelm you, seek help from a qualified professional. Copyright (c) 2004, Linda Marienhoff Coss, All rights reserved.
