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
โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I wrote them a letter and kept it in my bag for months. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are about three years ago. I remember looking after my parents now like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. Be gentle with yourself.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
