From people who came through it
“I was in the same place nearly four years ago. For me it was a halfway house. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
Kumaran D. · been through life after prison“A note for the next person. I was where you are this time last year. It was job applications and the box and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. One day at a time.”
makoto.bird · been through life after prison“Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. It was released in January after 6 years and I couldn't see past it. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.”
sunsong · been through life after prison“I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. For me it was job applications and the box. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Be gentle with yourself.”
