From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. For me it was a heart surgery at four months. I picked up the guitar again.โ€

  • โ€œI know it feels like too much. The hospital, the bills, the fear. I've been there with my son. Take it one day at a time. Ask for help. The hospital social worker might know about aid. I didn't ask at first because I was ashamed. Don't be like me. You're doing your best.โ€

  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are in 2023. I remember a heart surgery at four months like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

    Waitress in Preston ยท been through parenting a seriously ill child
  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are in 2023. Our son's leukaemia treatment, two years of it, every single day. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.โ€
