From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor 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€

  • โ€œIf 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.โ€

  • โ€œFor 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.โ€

  • โ€œAbout 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.โ€
