โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are about three years ago. The worst part was the inquest. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โFor anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. The worst part was finding him. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.โ
โWhen someone you love dies by suicide, you will want a reason. You might spend months looking for it. That's normal. The truth is, you might never get one. And that is one of the hardest parts. But you can still live. I'm not going to tell you it gets easier, because I don't know yet. What I can say is that the question gets quieter. It stops being the first thing you think about in the morning. You don't have to answer it to keep going. Just keep going, even when it doesn't make sense.โ
โTo whoever needs this: I was where you are in 2022. My brother neer told anyone he was struggling. That was every day. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ
