“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was her phone still charging on the shelf. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I was in the same place a year and a half ago. Back then, the funeral was in April. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces.”
