On the fifth day of Christmas

I chose this story for the 5th day of Christmas Good News.

What matters is that the staff care

"My stay on ward B2 was very good, but it was not always easy going.

I had lows as well as highs, I kicked and hit staff in frustration, but they understood and over time I really love them all, especially my S/N JD because she felt hurt by my behaviour and that was the wake up call I needed.

The staff care about me so much about me and my recovery. It helps me to recover, it’s made me a better and stronger person."

What this story means to me

I love this story because it of the hope it brings with it.

No matter what life does to you, how angry or despairing or alienated you may feel, there is always a way back . And that way way is though people who do care about you, and give you hope. In this story, those people are dedicated health care professionals.

There is always hope.
