From people who came through it

  • 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€

  • โ€œReading 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.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€
