From people who came through it

  • โ€œNearly 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.โ€

  • โ€œI 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.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€
