โHi, you. I was where you are eighteen months ago. Back then it was her name, I want people to say her name. I've started painting again. You're not on your own.โ
โI do not know what to say to you. I am three years ahead and I still do not have the right words. The first weeks you will be in a fog and people will say stupid things and you will forget half of it. That is normal. Do not let anyone tell you how to grieve. Some days you will laugh and then feel terrible. Laugh anyway. Keep something of your child out where you can see it. For me it is a hoodie on a chair. And if you can, find one person who has been there. Not to fix you. Just to sit with you in it.โ
โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder, routine saved me and same time up, same walk, same tea. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โI was where you are eighteen months ago. His friends graduating, every single day. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ
