Loss of a Dream: When A Baby Isn't Perfect

[Reviewed and updated March 11, 2020]

Hope is not a dream but a way of making dreams become reality. ~ James Womack

A reader writes: Apparently there is a syndrome in which a year or two after a parent learns that their baby/child has a severe disability, that parent, often the mother, has a sort of crisis and behaves out of character. This has recently happened to my wife. Over a year ago, our daughter (then 8 months) was diagnosed as being 98% deaf. Can you help identify the syndrome's name, if indeed it has one?
