[quote=Anonymous]My kid had an injury that ended his sport.  It was really hard and long.  He was okay with the sports ending and took that better than DH and me, we kept our feelings to ourselves. Other issues came up that we never imagined and we had some really dark months where he had depression and got involved in things that were pretty bad.  We all got counseling.  Individual, family, some just for us.  It was a long process and I don’t know if it helped.  I think time helped the most.   Looking back, I think he was filling the void with anything he could and lashing out in anyway possible.

It’s years later and he’s physically active again but not in an organized sport.  He lifts weight and does cardio on his own.  Most adults don’t continue with his former sport anyway.

He never went back to traditional school after his injury and we made sure after the sport stopped, if he didn’t want to go back to traditional school, he regularly was involved in things.  He volunteered a lot and then got a job as soon as he was able to.   That will be important for your daughter to have some structure.  It will be isolating to stop the sport and stay in virtual school.  [/quote]
