“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice and go slowly.”
“If you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Dating feels impossible. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.”

“Hi, you. I was where you are this time last year. Back then, their dad pays nothing. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.”
