From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf 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€

  • โ€œIf 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€

  • 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€œDear 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.โ€
