From people who came through it
“Hello from the other side of it. About three years ago, that was me. Back then it was the will and my brother. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back.”
George K. · been through loss of a parent“Hi, 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.”

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“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.”
