Jim Carrey once shared a profound truth about loss that cuts through the clichés of recovery. He said: “Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.”

In the beginning, grief feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. It is a terrifying silence where laughter once lived. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was.

The profound truth, Carrey suggests, is that you never truly “move on.” You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay.

Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest, most honest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.

There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.

Behind every su***de is a story of deep sadness, pain, and hopelessness that went unseen or unheard. People don’t die because they want to end their life—they die because they want to end their pain.
Be kind to anyone going through this journey.

The Broken Movement

The Broken Movement Trust was established for one simple reason, to create change.

We are a collective of individuals and strong personalities with the same shared vision. We acknowledge the need for change in the mental health sector and believe only through positive action can we create this.

It is our individual experiences that have lit a fire in our belly’s, created a movement in our hearts and the passion In our souls. We are a united front, determined to abolish mental illness through being active in the community.

To do this we must first acknowledge there is a problem, and that individuals from all walks of life are affected. We aim to empower individuals by providing the right tools, education and resources to succeed.
