From people who came through it

  • “For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was cooking for one. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even 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.”

  • “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.”
