I’m in hospital guys I’ve been really struggling in pain, I’ve been so unwell with intense stomach cramps (I was in non stop pain all night and have only managed an hour or so this afternoon) and unable to keep drink or food down at the moment. They think I might need my gallbladder removed but still waiting on scans to confirm. Lots of love everyone xxxx

Hi everyone 👋 I thought I’d introduce myself…. I’m Shannon’s mum. I have ADHD. I can talk a lot, I can also get lost within my own thoughts… which can lead to a near on breakdown! Which I find incredibly difficult to pull myself out of. I have been a survivor myself of domestic abuse (mentally) for many years. In which my ex husband would threaten to take my children and run away with them and actually abused one of them. I find life difficult but Shannon is my rock! Together we have endured such heartbreak and together have come through stronger little by little each day. I am looking forward to getting to know you all xx

I have had several traumatic experiences in life but I feel like I am not defining myself by those experiences. I am a survivor but I am still me. Grief, years of sexual abuse, my daughter’s cancer journey and her amputation and recovery; and the aftermath of all of these, has been so much to handle. But I am becoming more of myself everyday. I am becoming more of myself everyday and that is down others being there for me, but most of all down to me working on myself, and trusting that everything will be okay. I can still get down days but that is just life, the storm always passes eventually. I got this tattoo today to represent my rebirth, transformation, strength, resilience and new beginnings ☀️

If today didn’t turn out as planned, don’t worry. Let that negative energy go. Go to sleep knowing you have done your best and that’s more than enough. Tomorrow is a fresh start. Good night lovely people 🌙 ✨

Most of the time I generally feel positive, I have done a lot of healing over the years for different experiences, but today I really don’t feel myself. So I thought I’d do a post because I know how important it is to speak up. I am a mum to a little lady who has fought cancer, and has lost her leg in the process to save her life essentially. Some days are better than others. We are on a prosthesis journey right now. There are days when it fits easy and other days it doesn’t for some reason, and this really stresses out my Freya. And in turn stresses me out. Sometimes I bounce back quickly, and other times the feeling stays. I am trying not to suppress it when it gets too much. We have yet another prosthetist appointment incoming through the post. Which I really dislike because appointments can interrupt my schedule. There are times when I feel like a really bad mum, I know it’s out of my control but wheeling her around more often than not lately is taking its toll. I just want her to grow in confidence and independence. I know these negative thoughts are far from the truth. I just wanted to put this out there because i know it’s important to speak up about our struggles. Lots of love
