โHello 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.โ
โFor 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
โWhen 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
โFor 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.โ
