From people who came through it

  • โ€œI'm only a few months into this, but here's what I've learned so far. The paperwork can wait an hour. The fear doesn't go away, but it gets quieter if you let people help. Write things down, even if it's just a sentence. And find one small thing that makes you smile, like a game of cards or a bird at the feeder. It won't fix anything, but it makes the day easier to carry.โ€

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place a year and a half ago. The worst part: told I have months, not years. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.โ€

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was a few years back. The worst part: told I have months, not years. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. Back then it was bucket list or not. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.โ€
