From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf 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€

  • โ€œHello 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€

  • โ€œI 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€
