From people who came through it

  • “For whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Mine was mum died in March after a short illness. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”

  • “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.”

  • “I'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.”

  • “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.”
