From people who came through it

  • “I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. good enough is enough. keep going, even slowly.”

  • “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. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice and go slowly.”

  • “Sei que agora parece que não vais ter um minuto para ti. Eu também senti isso. O que me ajudou foi aceitar ajuda quando aparecia. Uma vizinha que ficava com os miúdos uma hora, uma colega que trazia sopa, o meu irmão que levava a Leonor ao parque. Não é fraqueza pedir. E tenta arranjar um cantinho na tua semana que seja só teu, mesmo que sejam dez minutos a ouvir um disco. Vais ver que esses minutos te salvam o dia.”

  • “If you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Dating feels impossible. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.”
