If you need someone right now
From people who came through it
“If you're scared right now, I get it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. I remember when he cries now at adverts, which he never did, like it was yesterday. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”

Sello N. · been through stroke recovery“When my wife had her stroke, I thought I had to fix everything. I could not. The first month was chaos. I did not know about occupational therapists or fatigue or any of it. So here is what I know now. Progress is slow. It looks like folding a towel. Celebrate it. Rest when you can. Ask for help even if you are stubborn. And look after yourself. I did not, and now I am paying for it. You cannot pour from an empty cup. I hate that saying. But it is true.”
