I am so thankful for our chat the other night. It really gave me some insight that I am thankful for. It will help my daughter and I am so happy about that.   

   All the materials I have read in this journey hasn’t given me the attitude and fortitude I need, I’ve gotten this from your emails and just from the group so far. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.   

   Travelling two hours each way, [my Mom] has only missed 2 meetings in 6 years. To say both my Mom and I are forever grateful for the support she is receiving would be an understatement.   

   The group was very helpful and validating.   

   I want you to know that my husband and I have found this group to be very valuable and also comforting.   

   I know we have more changes and more things to work out as we go through this, but I’m feeling more hopeful. We haven’t arrived by any means, but we are still moving and not standing still or giving up.   

   You have no idea how much you and the other parents helped me.   

   My daughter was just recently diagnosed with Anorexia. I was feeling scared, overwhelmed with what was ahead of us. You and the others at the meeting were so helpful, empathic and supportive.   

   My Mom – my biggest cheer leader, supporter and best friend - has been going monthly to the meetings that Eating Disorders Nova Scotia puts on for parents and loved ones who are looking for guidance to help them better understand what eating disorders are all about and how to support their loved one that is suffering.   

   You make everyone feel very comfortable and at ease in sharing this tragic journey we are on. I want to thank you for that.   

   I found solace in the group talking and sharing Tuesday night, I found courage to keep going, dust myself off and stop trying to ‘fix’ my daughter.
