โIf 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
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are about three years ago. Retired in June after 38 years. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.โ
โHi, 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
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place this time last year. Back then it was no purpose. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.โ
