Lost my mum at 24. Grief didn't end, it changed shape. I write about the practical parts nobody warns you about.

This Helped Me Most

What I went through

Eleven months where I did everything correctly and felt nothing. I kept waiting for a dramatic turning point. There wasn't one.

What helped me

Two things, both boring. Getting outside within an hour of waking, even for four minutes. And telling one person the truth when they asked how I was. That second one changed more than anything.

What I wish I knew

The first sign of life isn't joy. For me it was mild irritation at a song I didn't like — an actual preference. I nearly missed it.

What I went through

Year one after losing my mum. Year two was quietly harder.

What helped me

Letting it be uneven. Some weeks nothing, then a supermarket aisle takes me out. That's not backsliding.

What I wish I knew

It doesn't get smaller, you get bigger around it. Cliché, and the truest thing anyone told me.
