From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. In 2023, that was me. A hostel room, every single day. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was my husband still there. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place a year and a half ago. For me it was my husband still there. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was a job far below my training. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.โ€
