From people who came through it

  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did. I'm not especially strong. I said yes to every invite for a month, even when I didn't want to. Glad I did.โ€

  • โ€œI was right where you are two years ago. Nightmares. That was my life. I picked up the guitar again. Sending love.โ€

  • โ€œYou don't have to have it all figured out. I don't. Some days I jump at a car door. But I'm still here. The VA is slow but I went. That was hard. If you can't talk to anyone yet, that's okay. Just keep showing up for the next thing. For me it was coffee and the crossword. Find your small thing.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it is easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I am writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it is bad. Go slowly.โ€
