โHi, you. A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. The worst part: mom died in March after a short illness. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.โ
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason and it doesn't so but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I take it a week at a time and A day at a time was too much pressure somehow.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and 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. I had to stop googling, it made everything worse so go slowly.โ
โAbout three years ago, that was me. Mother's Day ads. That was my life. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
