From people who came through it

  • โ€œPara quien empieza a criar a un hijo con discapacidad: no tienes que hacerlo todo perfecto. Yo todavรญa 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 pequeรฑos. No estรกs sola.โ€

  • โ€œSorry, 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.โ€

  • โ€œNot sure if this makes sense. I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I had to stop googling. It made everything worse.โ€

  • โ€œI was in the same place nearly four years ago. A seizure last night. That was my life. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.โ€
