From people who came through it

  • โ€œHi, you. I was in the same place in 2022. The empty basket. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.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€

  • 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€œSorry if this is a lot. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I let myself be sad for an hour a day and then do something. It sort of works. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€
