Help me through this moment →
If you are in a car, stay safely parked until you feel ready to drive. Check what you need in the next few minutes: a drink, a comfortable place, or someone to sit with you.
You can say, “I need a little time. Can you keep me company? I’m not ready for advice.”
You do not have to explain everything or make every decision now. Write down a question to return to later if it helps.
