From people who came through it

  • 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€

  • 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€œI was right where you are in 2023. I remember writing letters for my kids like it was yesterday. I picked up the guitar again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Sending love.โ€

    Birgit from Stuttgart N ยท been through facing a terminal illness
  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it is easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I am writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. My nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number. Go slowly.โ€
