I was reluctant at first to join the course. ‘We are British, for heaven’s sake!’ and really don’t bare our souls publicly. However the opportunity to share with others on similar journeys was immensely valuable – frequently another member of the group expressed what I was struggling with much better than I could as he described his own circumstances. We became a Band of Brothers on a tough but achievable journey – that’s quite a thing compared tackling the challenge ‘alone’.
