โDear stranger, i was in the same place in 2022. The worst part: nobody asks about the sibling. 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 scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are a few years back. Looking after my parents now. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was two years ago. Mine was looking after my parents now. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't, but you can get through it so I did, and I'm not especially strong so I tell people straight what I need now. They usually just don't know.โ
