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
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
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
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
