PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Through a personal narrative, the authors discuss the lessons they have learned from 20 years of intensive care follow-up and rehabilitation. RECENT FINDINGS: There is a greater understanding of the legacies of the physical, psychological and cognitive problems after critical illness, and new momentum toward developing and delivering practical care to both survivors of intensive care and their relatives. SUMMARY: The need and demand for care after critical illness is now firmly established.
