Because I Am: Christian Accompaniment Through The Experience Of A Pre-Birth Diagnosis Of A Possible Disability

The Because I Am (BIA) journey is a programme of reflection and spiritual accompaniment for parents whose child receives a pre-birth diagnosis of a medical condition or possible experience of disability. It provides a reflective journey into the issues that face Christian parents and their unborn child in such situations in their lives. The journey includes reflections from parents who have travelled similar paths, insights from the Christian tradition and practical guidance on Christian accompaniment. The Parish edition includes guidance for how to support parishioners in this situation, giving you the confidence to accompany the couple through the heartache and the joy. Cristina writes from her own experience supporting couples. The book also includes an extensive section of resources and weblinks for further guidance.
