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“For 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.”
Busy Clover · 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“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and the first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I had to stop googling, it made everything worse so go slowly.”
