โIf 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
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Mine was setting the table for four. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was setting the table for four. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โThe 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
