Getting through it: who helps, what helps, and looking back, sentence 2
Over the year the heavy days got fewer; she still has bad days, but they don't last as long; what helped was Mum, her counsellor, her new friends and her diary; what didn't was the thought that it would last forever, because that "forever" turned out to be wrong.
Who acts: heavy days, friend, they, Mum, diary, thought · What happens: get, have, not last, help, be, not be · To what, where: Mum, thought, that
