Three years ago today I had the knock. The memories still there and even though my partner got NFA after a magistrates and a CC appearance the horrible memories are still there. But it does get better. Never give up hope, you will never forget what happened but the knock taught me to never take life for granted. I'll never live now thinking that tomorrow is granted because the knock taught me that we never know what is coming in this life. Most of us expected a normal day and it all got taken away from us in the blink of an eye.

I had PTSD and extreme anxiety, I wasn't myself for a long time but now I live for today. Do the things you enjoy, book those trips away, see the people you love and most importantly never give up ladies. What you're going through now you will come out the other side, I'm stronger now than I've ever been xxx

I second this, I'm. At the other end too. Just this week I feel like a different person. A better version of me and I never ever judge anybody anymore. I really embrace life. I look back now after hvjng lost my sister and the knock and loosing my life partner and think wow. I've been through it. Now I'm OK. I think of all the good things that are in my life (children, job, friends, health) I realise how lucky I actually am. To all you newbies out there I promise. It does get better.
