“What I wish for you is that you’re supported throughout the process the way you need to be. From moment to moment, your thoughts, feelings, mood and needs may ebb and flow. I wish for you that people are thoughtful enough and respectful enough to ask you for what you need instead of assuming what you need. I additionally hope that you have enough energy and strength to ask for what you need so that your physical and emotional needs have a better chance of being met. Finally, I hope you find deep kindness and compassion for yourself and allow yourself to think, feel and be however you will be.”
