From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor 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.โ€

  • โ€œReading 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.โ€

  • โ€œTo 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.โ€

  • โ€œI'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.โ€
