Thank you for sharing this piece and the reality of this utterly shit disease on not just the person themselves but the also the ripple it causes across everyone.
I feel you. It is the absolute worst in so many ways - a total joy-sucker and life-destroyer, as much for everyone around as the person affected. The ripple effect really is huge. Sending you massive hugs x
It’s so important! These are the conversations we often are too afraid to have but, in putting this out there, you can help others going through the same things to not feel so alone.
Thank you for sharing this, Cassie. Love it! I relate so much to this, "Instead, being on the other side of the world gives me a chance to play the role of the mother I never biologically wanted to be—and the supportive daughter my mother always desired. It may not be ideal, but it works. For now." Sending you a big hug! xxx
Well this certainly touched me. I read it in February and am glad I came back to re-read now my own life is less busy and noisy.
“Because right now there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words.”
You know I’m a big fan of your writing anyway but these are spellbinding words, Cassie. Much love 💛
Thanks Sarah. This means the world to me, especially today of all days 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing x
Thanks Bel! Xx

Thank you Cassie, and sending love and massive hugs back to you and to anyone else in this overwhelming situation. I’m so glad I found you here x
Thank you for sharing. These stories need to be told.
Thanks Casey! I appreciate it! Yeah, it's not very sexy or punchy to write about, but it does feel important, too :) x
