You are not what you became when you were most afraid. You are what flows through you when you are most joyful, most inspired. You are what you feel when everything feels at ease. You are what you know when that quiet, little voice inside tells you - it's going to be ok. You are not the person you became to cope with a life you didn't ask for. You are the person you choose to become in the life you build despite it.



Sending love and healing to all of you whatever stage you're at xx

Oh Polly, you're not made of fear. You are so incredibly brave. None of us asked for this and aside from the forums we find there is no support for us. We are the ones just doing our best to survive and then somehow once we've survived that particular phase we become the voice of support and experience for those people who find themselves at the beginning of their journey. We are the voice for families in the future not just our own but those who we help on here and those who are dealt with by the same sw if we've managed to educate them xx

Polly, I know that feeling, it's what I felt yesterday.

This may be the club that no one wanted to join, but it is the sisterhood that we can all be most proud of. Though we would not know each other if we crossed paths on the street, we are all there for each other.

I call this forum my life support.

Brighter days will come Polly, we all deserve brighter days. ??

Hugs sent to you all, we are all strong even though sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders

No one understands more than all.of.you lovely people, we are all strangers but yet we all.have this bond

Compassionate, kind , caring, understanding and non judgemental

When we are feeling down, sad and alone you all make such a huge difference

This forum has been so important to me just to know I am not alone in this journey

Hugs xxx

Your quote, so poignant and so true what a wonderful verse and your reply to polly put so eloquently. Out of something so traumatising we do become the empathisers, educators and supporters and help those through this difficult journey .
