From people who came through it
“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and my nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number, go slowly.”

brook_cloud73 · been through adjusting to a disability“To 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.”
Lorry driver W · been through adjusting to a disability“Hello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was in 2023. The worst part was the house needing a ramp and a wet room. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.”
