From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Joining a class gave me somewhere to be every Thursday. It helped. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here. God willing it gets easier.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. I remember the day centre closed like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.โ€

  • โ€œTo anyone starting to feel alone as they get older: it's hard when the places you used to go close down. But there are still people out there. Try a phone line, a church group, or even just saying hello to a neighbour. It might feel small, but it helps.โ€

  • โ€œI was where you are a year and a half ago. The day centre closed, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart.โ€
