Be as compassionate to yourself
There will be people whose lives are better because you were there at a difficult moment. There will be patients, colleagues, friends, and families who may never fully know the difference you made, but your impact is real.
Whatever you are facing right now, you do not have to face it alone. Reach out to a trusted colleague, friend, family member, or support service. Asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.
Hold on to hope. Difficult days do not last forever. Brighter moments can and do return. Be as compassionate to yourself as you are to those you care for every day.
