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
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
โIf you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was guilt about the last conversation. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so 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 so lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward and people want to help, go slowly.โ
