From people who came through it
“A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. It was the earthquake and the aftershocks and I couldn't see past it. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces. You're not on your own.”
Kelsey Co · been through disaster survivors“Dear friend, I know the ground feels like it won't stop shaking. When the typhoon came and then the earthquake, I thought we would never feel safe again. But we are still here, living with family, fixing what we can. Take it from me, you don't have to do it all at once. Accept help. Keep talking. And if you can, find one small thing that makes you smile, like a rose in a pot. You will get through this.”
Ibrahim from Lahore · been through disaster survivors“To whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. It was living with my in laws and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.”
Aulia M · been through disaster survivors“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Telling one person the full tuth helped me more than anything. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
