You are not alone as a parent of a CF child. The family lives with
you with this fear. We cannot outwardly express fear as we will bring life to the fear and upset all involved. So we face fear alone everyday.
Which is better is the argument. Fear alone or fear expressed.
This fact remains that many other people will die of unrelated causes to CF and our CF people will continue with life. The fact that we have real fear and eat this fear for breakfast, lunch and dinner will not change one minute of each day we exist together. We
must accept the situation and not frighten the CF person. There is plenty of time for tears but today we celebrate life.
