ASBL Empathy gave us the support and warmth we needed

“Elisa’s weight was dipping at a breakneck pace and we realized that we could no longer carry this alone. We also didn’t want to let her go or leave her alone in the hospital, we knew what we didn’t want. She was so scared and her thinking so disturbed. ASBL Empathy gave us the support and warmth we needed to continue to support Elisa despite our feelings of desperation and helplessness. ‘Together’ we fought with her against her illness with support from the doctors, therapists, family, other girls with anorexia and their parents. It was the most terrible and tearful period in our lives but also a period of intense connection and humility for life. We are so happy that things are better now.”
