From people who came through it

  • “Hello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Back then it was cooking for one. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.”

    auntiebike1983 · been through loss of a spouse or partner
  • “Se você está começando isso agora, eu sinto muito. Vai doer de um jeito que não tem nome. Nos primeiros meses eu não tomava banho, não comia direito, ficava olhando o celular dela na tomada. Não tenha vergonha de ficar mal. Mas tenta uma coisa pequena por dia. Um banho. Um prato de comida. Uma ligação pra alguém. Não precisa ser forte agora. Só precisa continuar aqui. Um dia a dor ainda vai existir, mas você vai conseguir respirar em volta dela.”

    Jéssica from João Pessoa · been through loss of a spouse or partner
  • “Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was two years ago. Back then it was cooking for one. This morning I sang in the car. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”

    Mason from Charlotte L · been through loss of a spouse or partner
  • “You will get through the first anniversary. I do not know how, but you will. Some days you will not answer messages, and that is okay. Some days you will cry in the car. That is okay too. Just keep Abeer close and let your parents help. Do not be afraid to say his name. He was here. He matters. You matter. One day you will laugh again, and it will surprise you. That is not betrayal. That is life.”
