Lorraine, your support was everything! I felt so lost in those early weeks and you held me as a mother so gently which is exactly what I needed. You were calm, nuturing and positive. I felt so much lighter after you came to visit. I loved that the support was so flexible, sometimes all I needed was a bath and some space, sometimes I needed to talk and have a hug. You always made me feel so comfortable and that everything I was experiencing was normal.
