Help for a loved one in prison in Sweden
From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are two years ago. Back then it was visits on Saturdays. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.”
sophia_sun · been through a loved one in prison“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“Hi, you. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was visits on Saturdays. I've started painting again. Praying for you.”
uncle.wren · 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.”
