From people who came through it
“About 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.”
Verónica from Oaxaca · been through loss of a parent“When my dad died, I thought I would never feel normal again. And I was right, but also wrong. You don't feel normal, you feel different. The first months are the hardest. Accept help. My friend Mary brought me food, and I didn't want to eat it, but I did. Talk about your parent. Say their name. It helps. Don't worry if you cry in the supermarket. It happens. And if you have siblings, try to remember you are all hurting, even if you show it differently. Be patient with each other.”
Uni student K · been through loss of a parent“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Mine was the will and my brother. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”
Evening Attic 3 · been through loss of a parent“If you're just starting this, the first thing I'd say is: the paperwork is not the grief, but it will keep dragging you back to it anyway. That's normal. Put the letters in one folder and deal with them on one set day a week. Tell your brother or sister what you need, even if it's just to sit in the same room. And when the ads come on, turn the radio off if you have to. It doesn't mean you're not coping. It means you loved her.”
