Joyce,
Those feelings are so normal. The "technical" term that I teach people is 
nonfinite loss. It is when our expectations or dreams can change due to a 
disability.
The awesome part is that they will change, but not be eliminated. You will 
still have a great sense of joy and love and yes the visual part will be 
different, but the rest will be the same.
I can't imagine the day...my baby announces that. It is hard to watch them 
all grow up.
Big hugs to you!
Theresa
