One way I have coped with grief in my life was to try to keep myself busy so I would not think about it and one way I did that was buying stuff. It was a way to keep me distracted, sometimes the purchases were justifiable and other times they were splurges. Don't feel bad splurging a little bit, you work hard so I am sure you deserve it.

This post, for no particular reason I can pinpoint, really struck me. Like, thumping you in the chest and almost knocking you down, kind of striking. Thank you for sharing your life here and keep up the fantastic work. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
