My friend was recently stabbed in a random attack in broad daylight, they're okay, but I was wondering if you had any advice I could pass on about allowing yourself to move on and feel safe again after an attack? Is there anything you wish your friends/family would have said or done for you?

I'd love to help them as much as possible, but it's obviously a tricky situation! Glad to hear you're doing better :)

Hi! I had a miscarriage a couple of weeks ago and was shocked by: - How little I knew about the physical process of it (and how vague even the leaflets I was given was). - How many friends had also had miscarriages but had never spoken about it due to shame, grief or not feeling like it was something they could bring up. I feel like part of a grim secret society now.

Just wondering if you know of anything particularly good being done to spread awareness or help people feel more able to speak about it? I'm also considering making a comic about my experience when I'm able to hopefully help others and process my own feelings.

We say "Hey! That's a nice bike!" quite often. (I'm pretty sure that's a very niche quote from the movie haha, but we love it).

I don't think you're a monster at all!

That's amazing and very reassuring! I did have a brief flash of worry that I'd been too stressed with tough work deadlines when I first started bleeding, but tried my best to put that out of my mind - the scan then showed that the loss had actually happened four weeks prior to my bleeding anyway, when I was very much not stressed! I'll keep hold of that phrase that women don't miscarry, embryos do, as I have felt some odd feelings when my husband or I have told people that I have had a miscarriage - a small amount of shame, responsibility, I'm not sure... but that phrase helps! Thanks very much for your reply.
