I didn’t even know WAY existed until about a year after I lost Callum. They’ve been a life saver to say the least, a place to talk through things that no one else would/could/should understand or would maybe scare friends and family. To talk to people who have experienced this sort of grief under many many different circumstances, married or not, straight or gay, kids or no kids, etc. etc. Your partner is your partner, and it is incredibly lonely to experience something like this without them, if that makes any sense at all. You turn to your partner for everything.

Every aspect of life changes, you grieve for them, and for everything that's missing from your life, and everything that they're missing out on and should be able to experience. You grieve the world you once knew, and the person you were, and the person your partner would've become, the plans you made. Everything. (and then if you're Callum Gray, then everyone has told me all the plans he'd made that he was keeping as secrets and surprises).

Grief in any capacity is one of the hardest things I think humans can experience. I'm not very good with words, but just wanted to jot down a little why WAY was never something that was on my radar, and because of that I passionately feel that people should be aware of them.

So... Callum is my motivation for this one, along with pretty much all of my endeavours. I’d also like to give an honourable mention to Cal's dad, Gary. Gary was one of my biggest cheerleaders and I miss hearing them bicker every day and Gary always taking my side. I’ll certainly miss their encouragement and love on race day, but if I'm lucky they might make their presence known. If you’re able to donate I’d be so grateful
