Acknowledgements

Writing this book has been cathartic and liberating, but it has been harder and more rewarding than we could have imagined when we began this process. This book has been our dream for many years and we would like to thank everyone who made it happen.

We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our participants, all of whom agreed to be interviewed, often at short notice, and who graciously gave up their time to share their thoughts and reflections with us. We know how hard it was to share many of your experiences, and we could see the emotional impact this had on you. But, you shared your thoughts anyway. Without you, our book would lack richness and depth, and would be less compelling. You gave your time selflessly with the intention of helping others. The world is a better place as a result. We cannot thank you all in person, but you know who you are!

We would also like to thank those who reviewed the early drafts of the book, and who gave us detailed and constructive comments. Your suggestions focused our thinking, encouraged us to explore new concepts and improved the structure and scope of the work.

We would like to thank our publishers. Again, there are too many people to name, but particular thanks go to David and Niall for your patience and support. Without your support and guidance this book would never have been possible.

Finally, we would like to thank our families. Thank you George, Sue, Gemma and Laura. Thank you for tolerating us when we spent long hours banging away on our keyboards, and for your patience when we disappeared for hours at a time to conduct interviews. Thank you for listening as we regaled you with tales from our interviews, and for putting your lives on hold as we developed our thoughts. Our book is finally being published. You have helped to make our dream come true.

We thank you all.

Dedications
