From people who came through it
“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.”
chesswren1980 · been through loss of a parent“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“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.”
