Elizabeth Nabet's Newly Released "Blessed by Autism and Other Trials of Life: A Journey in Faith and Trust" Is a Soaring Memoir of a Family That Overcame the Odds
"Blessed by Autism and Other Trials of Life: A Journey in Faith and Trust", from Christian Faith Publishing author Elizabeth Nabet, is a bighearted, inspiring memoir about the author's family--in which the youngest two children were diagnosed with autism and one with high-functional Asperger's--whose story will serve as an encouraging reminder to parents everywhere that every child is special in God's eyes, and that it is possible to live in happiness despite the overwhelming odds.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Blessed by Autism and Other Trials of Life: A Journey in Faith and Trust" is a memoir of unshakeable love in the face of a potentially damning diagnoses. "Blessed by Autism and Other Trials of Life" is the creation of published author Elizabeth Nabet, a widowed mother of four and grandmother of five who teaches at her church's Faith Formation program preparing second-graders for their first Holy communion.
Nabet shares, "Autism is a funny disease in the way that it affects the caretakers, especially the mothers. When Gerard was diagnosed, the social worker in the neurologist's office gave me the phone number of a family living with the disease. The medical staff felt that this family was more experienced with autism and could possibly answer any questions that we had. I don't know about you, but I would have had so many questions that the person on the other end would have hung up on me. I never called the number. Autism can be so overwhelming, and I feared what the parents might tell me to expect up the road—it might be even worse than what I already had! So, believing that I was taking care of myself, I avoided making the phone call. You reach a level of not wanting to hear someone else's story when your own story is so painful."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Elizabeth Nabet's new book is a beautiful meditation on how a mother comes to realize how much her dependent, autistic son can teach her love and purpose as a parent and caregiver.
Full of heart and good grace, Nabet reaches out in compassion to all those who strain under the untold weight of long-term care for their suffering loved ones; in her experience, joy and contentment is indeed theirs to be had.
