How do they do it-those lovely unflustered
ladies, who arrive well-dressed and serene first thing on Sunday mornings!? How
in years past I watched in envy as their little ducks come in, all fluffed up
and bright, following Daddy duck and Mummy duck to fill up a row - quite near
the front- with never a quack. I mull their great achievements as we arrive (-
do they beat them? do they bribe them? do they practise all week?)

Self-Harm ~ a Christian perspective |
|
|
|
I started cutting…..I found it ok so I did
it some more. But I was careful. It wasn’t suicide, more the opposite.
It was more like wanting to stop it ending in suicide. To keep you in
check, to keep you going.

Early miscarriage |
|
|
Can you describe your situation?
Having had two pretty uneventful pregnancies, we went into the third one
with our thoughts turned towards how I would cope with two children while dealing
with morning sickness and what the early days of having three children would
be like. We didn't really consider that this pregnancy would be any different
from the others. Obviously I knew that things could go wrong but assumed that
this wouldn't be the case with me.

Can you describe what happened to you?
It was just a normal morning. I was getting out of bed when the phone
rang. I can't even remember now whether it was my mum or my sister on
the phone, but they said that my dad had been taken into hospital suddenly with
chest pains, and that they were working on him now. This had happened
a couple of times before. The hospital would keep him in for a couple
of days hooked up to some machines, "under observation" and then make
some adjustments to his medication and let him out. That's what normally
happened. I was scared, and I said a pretty desperate prayer for
him that God would keep him safe and not let him die,

Living with allergies |
|
|
Can you describe your situation?
The first few weeks with our first baby, Reuben, turned our lives upside
down. He never slept for longer than two hours and he sicked up after each feed
but mess and tiredness comes with the children. I assumed it was the same for
everyone.
At about eight weeks, his scalp became dry and crusty. "Cradle cap"
we thought, but none of the normal remedies helped.
