โHello 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
โI 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
โI 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
โI was where you are nearly four years ago. The worst part: a nurse who knows his favourite dinosaur. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
