that is a great idea highlander, but she needs time to absorb that she lost all of her hearing and will have to seek and accept support... i know many hearing people (late deafened adults) who have so much pride to do that... then once she absorbs all of this, life will be easier for her... i...

see nesmuthbird!!! this is that WHOLE POINT!!! jeez! and i have to concur with bearbeauty!!! many of us are fortunate because we already had a support system of teachers, friends, colleaques, etc... and knew what to do whereas she is "VERY NEW" TO THE DEAF WORLD and learning more about...
