From people who came through it
“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.”
Taylor from Houston W · been through parenting a child with a disability“Not 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.”
keerthanapiano · been through parenting a child with a disability“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.”
Ashie S · been through parenting a child with a disability“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”
