From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Put our dog to sleep after 14 years. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder and I talk to them out loud sometimes and it helps more than it should. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.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€

  • 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€
