Day Two: Power of Community

Updated: Jun 19

Yesterday, I took the plunge and shared my experiences of life after a stroke on Facebook.

The outpouring of vulnerability from so many others, sharing their own journeys past and present, was truly inspiring.

Thank you to each and every one of you brave souls for creating such a supportive space through your openness.

That experience inspired me to write a short poem about 'Power of Community' on day two of the seven-day series, ‘Finding Beauty in Everyday Life’.

The burden lifts as tales unfold,

To fellow warriors, brave and bold.

Each unique journey, a shared plight,

In understanding, a commonality among all.

To be seen, heard, and valued,

The power of community, it strengthens all to fight.

How has belonging to a community, whether it's the support of friends and family or the shared experiences found in post-stroke Facebook groups, helped you through difficult periods?
