What Happens in Heaven
Our culture has a long history of ignoring or ostracizing people with developmental disabilities. Until recently, little thought was given to their emotional needs. Therefore, few programs have support services to deal with sadness and loss. But it is clear to the staff at the Neighborhood House that the clients are grieving, and they encourage the clients to share their feelings. Day by day, expressive art and music is replacing their pain and fear and everyone is learning to appreciate life as it happens.
