About

Welcome!

My name is Kasia. If you or someone you know survived a road accident and feel lonely, hopeless and stuck, this might be a right place to find comfort.

“One day you will tell your story of how you have overcome what you are going through now, and it will become part of someone else’s survival guide” Ehraz Ahmed

Being a near-fatal accident survivor myself, I couldn’t find any support group for road accident survivors here in Malta. And if there was one, I would join in split seconds. Because of lack of such group, I felt quite isolated with my suffering. I wondered how other survivors were coping with their ordeals. Have they felt as lonely and hopeless as me? I kept on thinking how helpful it would be to bond with and learn from someone who experienced horrific accident and managed to came out of it. That’s basically how the idea was born.

I have endless compassion for people who were so close to death like me, people who broke their bones, lost their mobility and hope, maybe even lost their loved ones – like I did. It’s like going through a multiple-layered trial.

Therefore, without much hesitation, I decided to create this website as a platform to:

– connect recovering accident survivors
– share experiences and recovery stories
– share expert and peer information related to bone healing and other injuries
– share how to cope with a post-traumatic stress disorder
– share physiotherapy tips
– share links to other resources that inspired, uplifted and helped me in healing.

The potential benefits of joining a support group are related exactly to the things I was craving the most after my accident. These are:

– gaining support and hope from others facing similar experiences
– feeling less anxious, afraid or alone
– sharing experiences and helping others
– learning new skills for coping and enhancing life
– becoming more self-confident
– feeling more in control

I will be sharing my own and other survivors’ stories and experiences related to grief, trauma and recovery in Free Resources page with an aim that

sharing them here could hopefully help others.

So, I just would like to ask you one thing: Show up. Please know that you are not alone, and no matter how disabled or sad you might feel, there might be someone who suffers as you…I know that by sharing your story, and hearing stories of other survivors, we can make a journey of recovery together.

Warmest regards,

Kasia
