Ever heard the chilling story of Charles Cullen? 🫣 Ever heard the chilling story of Charles Cullen? 🫣 It’s terrifying… and definitely not for the faint of heart. Perfect for a spooky Halloween read!
When @hodakotb confided in @lauren_bongiorno, foun When @hodakotb confided in @lauren_bongiorno, founder of @riselyhealth, after her daughter’s type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis, Lauren patiently waited for the story to be shared publicly. When two years passed without it, she realized the weight of the situation—not just for the child, but for the parent navigating a brand-new reality.⠀
⠀
A T1D diagnosis changes everything. Children and parents grieve the life they once knew, then slowly learn to embrace a new one—becoming full-time caregivers while managing their own emotions.⠀
⠀
It’s not easy. Acceptance takes time, whether you’re a celebrity or an everyday family.⠀
⠀
What was the hardest part of acceptance for you or your loved one with T1D? How long did it take before you felt ready to share and seek support?⠀
