โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are about three years ago. For me it was work gave me one day off. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so the first few months were the worst of my life, but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad so routine saved me. Same time up, same walk, same tea, go slowly.โ
โYou 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
โEighteen 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
