From people who came through it

  • โ€œTwo years ago, that was me. Her mum still messages me. That was my life. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy. Sending love.โ€

    Zeeshan W ยท been through loss of a friend
  • โ€œYou won't believe it now, but the day will come when you can think about them without crying. It won't be soon. For me it was months. The nights are the worst, so find someone who's awake. I called a helpline at 2am once and the woman just listened. That helped more than anything. Don't try to be strong for everyone else. Let someone be strong for you. And when her mum texts, answer. Even if it's just an emoji. She's hurting too.โ€

    Golden Ember ยท been through loss of a friend
  • โ€œEighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. I remember work gave me one day off like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. Praying for you.โ€

    Harsy B ยท been through loss of a friend
  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason and it doesn't, but you can get through it and I did, and I'm not especially strong so what helped me was writing everything down before appointments, otherwise I forget it all.โ€
