From people who came through it

  • 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€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was in the same place a year and a half ago. My wife has her own routine. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ€

  • 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€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€
