โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. My little brother died at 27. That was every day. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.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
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. I remember our group chat with one less person like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again. xโ
