From people who came through it

  • “Para quien empieza a criar a un hijo con discapacidad: no tienes que hacerlo todo perfecto. Yo todavía me enfado cuando la gente mira, pero he aprendido a rodearme de personas que entienden. Acepta la ayuda que te ofrezcan y busca momentos para ti, aunque sean pequeños. No estás sola.”

  • “Hello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was planning for when we are gone. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back. x”

  • “Sorry, this got long. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”

  • “I was in the same place this time last year. I remember planning for when we are gone like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.”
