From people who came through it
“Please 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.”
wrenquiet1996 · been through loss of a child“I 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.”
Stefanie B. · been through loss of a child“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Mine was my marriage under strain. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.”
Open Reef 4 · been through loss of a child“Sorry if this is a lot. I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Keep one thing of theirs close. For me it's his jumper.”
