From people who came through it

  • “I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was a 6 week old who will not sleep. This week I went back to my evening class. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”

  • “Hi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. Back then it was a 6 week old who will not sleep. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart.”

  • “For whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Mine was no family nearby. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.”

  • “Esto es para vos, que estás empezando. No te voy a mentir, es difícil. Pero también hay momentos buenos. No tenés que ser perfecto. Yo todavía estoy aprendiendo. Hablá con alguien, aunque sea por acá. No estás solo en esto, aunque a veces lo parezca. Un día a la vez, che.”
