From people who came through it

  • โ€œI remember when Dad first got sick, I felt so alone. If you are starting this, know that the guilt you feel is normal. It does not make you a bad person. Find one person who gets it, even if it is someone online. And take photos of the good moments, even if they are rare. You will need them later. I am not going to say it is easy, but you can do it. I am here if you want to talk.โ€

  • 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€

  • โ€œThe first time you forget she was ever different, that's the worst. I won't lie. It doesn't get easier. But you learn to live in the gaps. The crossword still helps. Coffee. The train. Small things. Don't expect anyone to understand. They won't. But you'll find your people. The ones who nod without saying anything. Hold onto them. And hold onto the good days. They come. Even now.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€
