After overcoming a brain tumour, our daughter faces a new battle—reintegrating into school life. The experience has been overwhelming, not just for her but for the entire family. What was once a familiar and welcoming environment now feels daunting and isolating. The gap between her and her peers is growing, both academically and socially.
Medical treatments left her fatigued and struggling to keep pace with schoolwork, while prolonged absence caused her friendships to drift apart. Despite our efforts to support her, the changes have been painful to witness. The school environment that once nurtured her growth now highlights the differences a serious illness can impose.
This journey has shown us the immense challenges families face when a child returns to school after serious illness. It’s not just about recovery; it’s about reclaiming a sense of normalcy and belonging while navigating the lingering effects of disease and treatment.
