“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.”
“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.”
“You 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.”
“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.”
