From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. I remember volunteering at the charity shop like it was yesterday. I went on vacation in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Retired in June after 38 years. That was my life. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. Sending love.โ€

  • โ€œHi, you. I was in the same place this time last year. I remember the pension less than I thought like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Hang on.โ€

  • โ€œHi, you. I was where you are nearly four years ago. I remember the pension less than I thought like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. One day at a time.โ€
