From people who came through it
“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“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“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.”
