From people who came through it

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was in the same place this time last year. Dad is in palliative care. That was every day. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're just starting this, I want to say it's a strange kind of loss. You're grieving someone who is still here. That's allowed. Some days you'll be fine and then a song or a smell will hit you and you'll be back in the car crying. It's not linear. And if you have a sibling who doesn't help, try not to let it eat you up. You can't make them care. Just focus on the time you have. You won't regret being there.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are about three years ago. I remember planning a funeral while he watches telly like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

    Jadez N ยท been through anticipatory grief
  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember when guilt for wishing it was over, like it was yesterday. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. One day at a time.โ€
