โIt's hard. The first years are the worst. You'll learn new ways to do things. Like Velcro instead of buttons. And you'll find people who help. Even if it's just a neighbor who sits with him for an hour. Don't be afraid to ask. And look after yourself. Sleep when you can. Eat proper meals. Cry if you need to. It's not weak. It's human. Derek still cries at adverts. I just hold his hand. That's enough.โ
โHi, you. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. The worst part was the occupational therapist at home. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces.โ
โI was in the same place this time last year. Speech therapy twice a week, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ
โIf 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.โ
