From people who came through it
“Reading 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. x”
Hey N · been through loss of a brother or sister“Hello 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.”
moniquesand · been through loss of a brother or sister“Hello 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.”
Efe N · been through loss of a brother or sister“Please 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.”
