From people who came through it
“The 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.”
Teacher on leave in Lagos · been through parenting a seriously ill child“I 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.”
cloudsouth90 · been through parenting a seriously ill child“I 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.”
Found Bee · been through parenting a seriously ill child“Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Her siblings feeling left out. That was every day. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.”
