From people who came through it
“You 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.”
Golden Ember · been through loss of a friend“A note for the next person. I was in the same place a year and a half ago. For me, the group of friends feels broken. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.”
Hassan W · been through loss of a friend“Dear stranger, i was in the same place a year and a half ago. It was my best friend since school and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Hang on.”
nightdad · been through loss of a friend“Dear you, Losing a friend is like losing a part of yourself. I don't have magic words, but I can tell you that it's okay to feel broken for a while. The group might change, and that's hard. Tell people when you can, and don't be afraid to say you're not okay. The numbness from meds might fade, or you might need to try something else. Be patient with yourself. And if you can, find one person who gets it. That helped me.”
