  • I had this idea shared with me when my mother passed. Perhaps the perspective will give you some hope.

    When we experience loss, the emotions come at you like 100 foot high waves, pounding you into the coral on the ocean floor. You feel as though you can’t breathe or come up for air. It feels overwhelming and unsustainable.

    Over time, those waves become smaller and less frequent. You learn how to expect them and breathe before the wave hits. You adapt, but you never forget.

    You may feel as though it would be easier to give up, but you DO have the strength to get through this. It won’t be easy, and there will be days where those waves feel like they’re coming relentlessly, but time truly helps.

    You will learn from your experiences and grow. The person you become over time allows you to become a better partner in the future.

    Use this time for reflection and working to become a more complete individual. You’ll get through this. It won’t be easy, but I believe in you.

    That’s my thought as well. They NEED to buy the name brand items as well?

    There are PLENTY of corners that can be cut, as well as buying items that can be made into larger meals (soups, pastas, etc.) that reheat well.

    Whoever this person was needs to rethink their wants and needs, then shop accordingly to their budget.
