From people who came through it
“If 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.”
dicelily · been through loss of a friend“If you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are a few years back. For me it was her mum still messages me. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Keep going, even slowly.”
springdusk7 · 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.”
book_mum · been through loss of a friend“Two 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.”
