From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The firt few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I wrote them a letter and kept it in my bag for months. Go slowly.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. A grief counsellor helped me more than I expected. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œAbout three years ago, that was me. Back then it was her lead still on the hook. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: About three years ago, that was me. I remember the empty basket like it was yesterday. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does.โ€
