From people who came through it

  • β€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. For me it was people talking to my partner instead of me. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy.”

  • β€œEighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Losing sight in one eye, every single day. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.”

  • 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€œHello 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.”
