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
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
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
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
