โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. It was the kids every other weekend and I couldn't see past it. This morning I sang in the car. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Sending love.โ
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember a lawyer's bill like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy, the first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad so lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward, people want to help, go slowly.โ
โFor anyone new to this: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Telling his parents, every single day. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back.โ
