Well done. I’m so glad you’re ok. Blowing out your birthday cake afterwards… so devastating. I’m so sorry.

Thank you for sharing this, Cherry. It wasn’t okay then, it’s not okay now, and it will never be okay. But I’m glad you’re okay. 🙏🏻

Understandably Cherry. So many women bury experiences like these and try to forget them. It takes a lot of courage to share it.

Thank you. I should add - it really was not ok - it still isn't but I am ok. Finally.

The extraordinary tale of how i am ok might one day make it into a bookshop near you ...
