From people who came through it

  • 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€œTo whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. A wheelchair van we can not afford. That was my life. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.โ€

  • โ€œNearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was respite once a month. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.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€
