Help for a loved one in prison in United Kingdom
From people who came through it
“I was right where you are about three years ago. It was my husband got 4 years and I couldn't see past it. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back.”
Lost Bramble · been through a loved one in prison“In 2023, that was me. The kids think he is working away, and I couldn't see past it. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back.”
Open Ginger 7 · been through a loved one in prison“I know you're scared and the letters keep coming. I've been there, hiding the post, lying about why the phone rang. What helped me was telling one person, just one, and asking for help with the paperwork. The debt charity lady didn't judge me. She just made a list. Start with one letter. One call. That's all. You're not a bad person for struggling. You're just a person who needs a hand. And you can do this, even when it feels impossible.”
