“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so the first few months were the worst of my life so but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it's bad so go slowly.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
