For every dark moment left in the wake of coronavirus, it is important to remember there is still light. We are constantly reminded of the devastating gravity of this pandemic - from families who have lost ones, terrifying statistics and tight restrictions on every day life.
And whilst we must remember every person who has lost their life to this awful disease, it's vital we share the positive stories too.
This week across the north west, many people have fought back from COVID-19 and have lived to share their inspirational stories.
From the great-great-gran from Stockport who has left hospital, to the 98-year-old who amazed staff with his quick recovery - there are still reasons to celebrate.
