From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember my husband and I with nothing to say like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œThe quiet is the hardest part at first. I am only a few months ahead of you. For me, the first weeks I just sat and listened to the clock. Then I started going to the charity shop and that gave me a reason to get up. I also walk. Every day. It does not fix it but it helps. Your child will come home and then leave again, and that is okay. You will find a new rhythm. It is slow, but it comes.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. The worst part was her room. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.โ€

  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was in 2023. Mine was setting the table for four. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Sending love.โ€
