Oh my God, I was going to say the exact same thing.
OK, second bravest and hardest,
Having stitches in my knee when I was 11 without any anaesthetic.
Hardest-Trying to sew an outfit together for my daughters dance performance.
(no connection between the two)
1. Bravest - giving birth to my first born son without any anaesthetic. I felt as though my back might break and it did.
2. Hardest - Holding my first born son in my arms just three days before his 21st birthday while he breathed his last breath - and trying to survive and be strong for my Mum and remaining two children, having just lost my loving boy.
1. Not screaming and fighting when I wanted to and needed to so much.
2. Resigning from my job 2 months ago when I realised that I just couldn't take any more nastiness from a colleague I had trusted.
