โHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Back then, nobody asks about the sibling. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does.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
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
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
