From people who came through it
“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“Reading this late at night? I've been there. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. A nurse who knows his favourite dinosaur. That was my life. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
sofíauncle42 · been through parenting a seriously ill child“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 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.”
