From people who came through it
“I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was can not drive anymore. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.”
Amanda B. · been through growing older alone“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me so and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Muhammad from Kuching C · been through growing older alone“I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason so it doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong and try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way.”
lampriver73 · been through growing older alone“I 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.”
