From people who came through it
“Hi, you. I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was doing all the school runs alone now. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.”
garden.bus · been through caring for someone with cancer“Dear stranger, i was where you are a year and a half ago. Learning to flush a PICC line. That was my life. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.”
stone_moon96 · been through caring for someone with cancer“For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. His mood swings on steroids, every single day. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
Senait · been through caring for someone with cancer“I was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was crying in the car park before going in. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.”
