Theory of Chronic Sorrow

The theory of chronic sorrow was introduced to explain the feelings "of grief observed in parents of children with mental deficiences as they struggled to cope with the loss of a 'perfect child'; and is defined by "the periodic recurrence of permanent, pervasive sadness or other grief related feelings associated with a significant loss" [1]
