From people who came through it
“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“To 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.”
lightguitar · 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“For anyone new to this: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. I remember when the only voice some days is the radio, like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
