I was driving home from work tonight and a song came on the radio. A song by an artist I know one lady loves. That lady is part of a group of warriors who have seen me through some incredibly tough times. I thought about that group and how everyone is doing and that's when I realised - today is 5 years exactly since "the knock". 5 years since my life was turned upside down and when I was googling whether there was a way I could end my life without traumatising my stepchildren.
I didn't think we'd make it, and it's been far from easy, but this year - for the first time - I didn't even realise until nearly 9pm. I haven't spent the day all consumed. We've done it. We're married now and stronger than ever. It's been hard and I still have very dark days but my group of warriors saved my life and gave me so much guidance to get through the tough times. Just a message of hope because I know in those early days I couldn't see how anything could ever end in anything but disaster. Sending huge hugs to you all. You're strong and whatever this situation throws at you, there are people out there who will understand and support you. You got this.
