When everyone else has moved on

Feeling left behind after a hard time.

When something terrible happens, people rally round. Then life carries on for them, while you are still in it.

What it can feel like

Lonely
Like you are behind
Like your pain is too much for others

What helps

Telling people you are still struggling
Finding others who have been through the same thing
Support groups
Being patient with yourself

You are not behind. Healing has no deadline.

KEEP EXPLORING
