โReading 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.โ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Back then it was his voice on the voicemail. I laugh properly again. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โYou 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.โ
โIf 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.โ
