From people who came through it

  • 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€

    Wiremu C ยท been through retirement transition
  • โ€œI don't know what you're facing, but I know the quiet. I know the table for four. I know the meetup you leave early. It's okay to not know what's next. Just try one thing. One drink. One Tuesday at the charity shop. One call. It's not a solution. But it's something.โ€

    Ken Ps ยท been through retirement transition
  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are about three years ago. Back then, the days are too long. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder and telling one person the full truth helped me more than anything, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€
