Filmed over many months, this program tells the story of several young survivors as they, and their families try to reclaim their lives.
"She wears a mask that to the outside world, she's fine. She's really not fine…People see this bright, bubbly, carefree girl, and I just think she wears this mask so well that sometimes she fools herself." Erin's mum
Some are able to return to their old routines, but in the privacy of their bedrooms, the girls reveal their struggles.
"It's times when you kind of let your guard down a little bit and you try and enjoy yourself and then you feel guilty for feeling that way and you feel guilty for getting on with your life when other people can't." Niamh
Despite their darker days, some are trying to find inspiration for the future.
"It's kind of made me realise like life is short and I want to do stuff and I want to get out there." Amelia
