What would you tell somebody newly transplanted?

This was our opening question in support groups last night and I loved the answers we got as a group. Here are a few of my favourites:

• find your community, but don't compare yourself to others. your journey will be unique
• take it one day at a time
• give yourself grace
• try to find something everyday that makes you smile
• seek out mental health support.
• Find a therapist, and get plugged in to a support group
• take your time - you're not going to bounce back right away. everything about your life has changed. be patient.
• transplant life is hard, and you can do hard things

If you were answering the question, what would you add?

Stay the course. It is worth the effort.
