New Sefer

 I want to publish a sefer dealing with supporting parents, spouses and children who have severe disabilities both the difficulties and the possible benefits. When to do it and when  not to get involved. This is a very current issue between the aging of the population and the increasing acceptability of abortion, assisted suicide and government support. I am interested in first person accounts of dealing with these issues to add to the traditional sources.


For example: 

When Rabbi Freifeld was sitting Shiva for his first wife. He recalled that he had once received news that a single non religious mother of two had been recently committed to a mental hospital. He said "I was very busy with my yeshiva and my wife was overwhelmed being wife mother and teacher/mentor. Nontheless she said we will take in these children and we raised them."

    You mean like children with parents that have severe dementia and the like?
