โIf 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.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. 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.โ
โI 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.โ
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
