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
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
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
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
