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“Hello from the other side of it. I was right where you are in 2023. I remember a heart surgery at four months like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again. Be gentle with yourself.”
Waitress in Preston · 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.”
Debbie from Milwaukee B · 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.”
