Poured myself a nice lil drink in my special wine glass (a present from my sister who died a few years ago)… popped it down and sat down to watch our team run out in the NRLW. Second half…and caught it with my hand and smashed it all over the floor.

I know it’s just stuff but am currently devestated. Fuck you grief it’s been 10 years and now I am in tears because I’ll never get another gift from her. Or watch another footy game with her. Or anything.

Fuck cancer.

I’m sorry, that’s awful! I wonder if it is worth saving the glass and doing en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi

  Too many pieces for kintsugi but thanks for your suggestion. It was a pretty blue glass with a wave pattern and I think I will keep a shard and try to make a little art with it. 💚

    Is it possible that Lemmit sleuths could find the same make and colour of wineglass?
    
    It’s totally okay if that won’t work and doesn’t make up for the loss. I understand. The glass was irreplaceable.
    
    It’s just physical gifts tend to be a lot more fragile than the bond with the giver and maybe even if the glass is different now the honouring of your sister is the same?
    
    Think on it. If you decide you would like that I’m happy to try and help track it down.

    I thought about that but this one was the thought. I have salvaged a couple of pieces and will think about what to do with them. Thank you. You are good people Melba.

oh no, always hard breaking something like that.

I’d have to say the studspud’s idea seems like a good one.

That sucks. I’d look it at this way, atleast you used it and enjoyed and that’s better than in a cupboard where it didn’t get looked at. Still sucks though. Hugs 🫂

It’s ok. I get what you’re going through and it’s really rough. We’re here to listen.

The wine was the last physical gift you had from her - but your love for her is forever.

  Not invalidating at all. Thank you I needed that reminder. Hugs
