The morning of 24 February began for Nadiia with her brother’s words: “Wake up, it has started…” From that moment on, life split into “before” and “after.” She lived through the destruction of her partner’s home, a forced departure abroad, and a return — because her heart pulled her back to where everything was familiar. Nadiia is a psychotherapist who helps others find the strength to go on. Her own support comes from her family, her work, and the small rituals of daily life that restore a sense of calm and remind her: even in darkness, there is room for light.
