Feeling alone in this
That's all.
Home from hospital now. How do you push on, once again?

Julianna,
I think that regardless of the amount of support that you have at any given time, there are moments where you feel completely alone. I know that I have experienced it over the past several years, and especially during and since transplant. I have also found that those around me sometimes feel the same way. The hardest part is to stay engaged, communicate, get help when and as often as needed, including any psycho-social help your facility offers when needed as well. This is a long journey and there will be bumps in the road and lights at the end of the tunnel. One of my favorite quotes is that the night is always darkest before the light of day begins to rise. Knowing that the sun will always rise, the darkness will always subside.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way Juliana, and for anyone else suffering from GVHD. We can't predict what will happen after a transplant, and it takes lots of courage and a will to live to have one, so I really admire you. Keep posting - we are all here for you.
