[wisconsin] Grieving Vision Loss (resources parents and children)

[ED WEISS]

Hi Amy:
 
I have lots of ideas about accepting visual loss since I feel that in some
ways my parents used the wrong approach in helping me to accept my visual
loss.  
 
You said that the parents were interested in books and articles.  I remember
that there was an autobiography by Jacob Twersky a blind college professor.
Perhaps this would be helpful.  Twersky also wrote a novel called Face Of
The Deep which I think was regarded as a dirty book when I was in High
school.
 
I wonder if the journal of Visual impairment might have material and I would
think your school library might have something.  I also wonder if Nfb. has
any material.
 
When I was a child I thought that I had partial vission because at that time
I had a little light perception.  An excellent child psychologist set me
straight.
 
On a personal note I wonder if you would do me a favor.  Could you ask your
mother if she went to school with Leximi Ammerman and if she did could you
see if she knows what Leximi is doing today?
 
Incidentally I still think you are an absolutely phenomenal auctioner.
