From people who came through it
“To 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.”
joysouth84 · 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 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'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.”
