From people who came through it

  • 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€œDear stranger, i was in the same place a year and a half ago. I remember when her siblings feeling left out, like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œThe first weeks feel huge and no one can tell you how it will go. What I found helps is small rules. Who does which night. When food arrives. Which hospital person knows your child and always ask for them. Take the offers seriously, say yes to what is actually useful. Bad days are part of it and they are not the whole story.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€
