โTwo 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
โDear 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.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
