From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor 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.โ€

  • โ€œI'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€

  • โ€œFor anyone just starting this: it is going to hurt like hell for a while. You might feel guilty about the things you didn't say or do. That is normal. But the guilt is not the whole story. The love is. Keep talking to them if you want. Keep their number in your phone. And find one person who will listen without trying to fix it. That helps more than the advice.โ€

  • โ€œWhen 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.โ€
