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€

    Pooja S ยท been through caring for someone with cancer
  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason, it doesn't. But you can get through it, I did, and I'm not especially strong and someone told me to do one small thing a day, some days it's just a shower.โ€

  • โ€œDear stranger, i was where you are eighteen months ago. For me it was driving him to radiotherapy every weekday at 8. I've started painting again. Praying for you.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€
