From people who came through it

  • β€œTo anyone just starting this: I won't say it's easy. It's not. Losing part of yourself is a grief. But you find new ways. My kids don't care about my eye. They care about me. The prosthetic still rubs. I still cry sometimes. But I swim, I make playlists, I pray. You'll find your new normal, even if it takes a while. God willing.”

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was learning to use a wheelchair. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy.”

  • β€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are in 2023. For me it was my old job I can not do now. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back.”

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. An amputation below the knee, every single day. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy.”
