From people who came through it
“Reading this late at night? I've been there. A few years back, that was me. Back then, the only voice some days is the radio. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.”
Tailor in Stellenbosch · been through growing older alone“I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especailly strong. I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it's bad.”
gardenowl13 · 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.”
Andrea Bf · been through growing older alone“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.”
