From people who came through it

  • 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€œI 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.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. I remember a heart surgery at four months like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again. Be gentle with yourself.โ€
