From people who came through it

  • 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€œReading 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€

  • โ€œIt is hard when they leave. The silence is loud. I know. I felt it too. You will cry. You will feel lost. That is normal. But you will find new things. I started painting again. I do nails for the neighbours. It is not the same. But it is something. Find your something. And call your children. They miss you too. They are just busy living. You will get through this. I promise.โ€

  • โ€œNot that long ago, about a year, that was me. Back then it was my husband and I with nothing to say. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
