Still hurting, seven years on

When did your caring role end?

There's usually a long gap between caring ending and anyone offering support. This is somewhere to keep the practical and the personal side by side, at your own pace — nothing here is a deadline.

The date

You can change this any time — it just sets which prompts feel relevant.

Who you cared for

Optional — only used to soften a line of text here and there.

This isn't counselling, and it isn't trying to be. If you'd like to talk to someone, Cruse Bereavement Support is there to listen.

Somewhere to put it

No prompts, no format. "Today was hard" is a complete entry.

This isn't for everyone, and that's okay.

Some people want a list. Some people want nothing at all for a while. Closing this doesn't mean you've given up on anything.

Whatever you'd ticked or written is still here. Come back to it in a week, in a month, or not at all — and if you're on a different device, just put the same date in again.
