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
โDear stranger, i was where you are a year and a half ago. I remember people not knowing what to say like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces. Hang on.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are in 2023. For me, my son took his own life last year. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โI was in the same place eighteen months ago. It was the why with no answer and I couldn't see past it. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.โ
