They are so precious to me and I’m so worried. It’s been an absolute nightmare for them and please does anyone have advice how to keep them safe or any encouragement as they think this can take a year to feel any easier and can’t take it any more ? Battling insomnia alone is so extreme -like an hour’s sleep a night- it’s genuinely too much.
