When you acquire a new disability or a worsening of an existing condition it’s very easy to feel at a loss and not sure how to move forward. Do family and friends not understand how you are feeling as they have not had to deal with something like this, or do you want to spare them from the extra stress of your processing of the situation.
We have been there and realised there was no one to talk to who understood how we felt and understood why we couldn’t explain it to those around us. By talking through with someone who understands and has had to make similar changes to their lives they are well placed to support others to find their new life. We won’t tell you what to do but provide a sounding board and a reassurance that comes from ‘been there – done that – got the adaptions’.
