From people who came through it

  • 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€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder, I started saying no to things and it made a big difference so and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • 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€

  • 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€
