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“Dear 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.”
diana_dusk · 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“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.”
