From people who came through it

  • “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.”

    Hairdresser in Perth · been through loss of a spouse or partner

  • “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.”

    thaís.train · been through loss of a spouse or partner

  • “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. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it's bad. Go slowly.”

    Emma H. · been through loss of a spouse or partner

  • “If 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.”
