“You’ll take as much or as little time off work as you need. You’ll go back to your GP and see a psychologist. You’ll be a mum and a wife, and you’ll do things a mum and wife should never have to do and, even when you feel like you can’t go on like this anymore, you will, Kate. You won’t feel strong, and you’ll mess it up sometimes, but you’ll do this anyway, because you have no choice. Okay? No choice.”
