From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was where you are in 2022. A spreadsheet of medicines and times on the fridge, every single day. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.โ€

  • โ€œDear 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.โ€

  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. I remember crying in the parking lot before going in like it was yesterday. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

  • โ€œI 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.โ€
