Today was a really rough day, one of my good friends lost her nana to cancer and I went to the memorial service, she was a wonderful woman, but this really hit home because my ex-boyfriend (college sweetheart) was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. We renewed our friendship several years ago. I left the church feeling so bad, physically, I cried so hard throughout the service I started to feel sick and I couldn't even make it back to the house to be there for my friend.

I know a COACH bag won't take the pain away and it may sound shallow but shopping is therapeautic for me. I'm hoping there are some nice sales tomorrow when I drive up to the outlet.

Thanks for letting me get this out.

Im so sorry for your friends loss, and for the bad news you've received about your ex.
Life just sucks sometimes. I definitely understand the need for some retail therapy - its good to just go and do something you enjoy at times like that. It cant make everything better, but for a little while it'll take your mind off of things, and sometimes that little break from reality is very helpful. Please take care, and let us know if you get some goodies!

I'm so sorry and no you don't sound shallow for doing what you are doing. I do the exact same thing. I actually was planning on doing the same thing this weekend after a rough week myself, if it helps you deal with it, then that's what you do. ((((hugs))))

How sad for you and your friends. Things sometimes happen that can just overwhelm us, huh? By wanting to go shopping, you are showing a hopeful looking to your own future. It's perfectly normal and absolutely understandable.

I hope you have a large block of enjoyment while you're out looking.

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend's nana and your friend. :sad: I agree with above posters...retail therapy isn't shallow. It takes your mind off of "real world stuff" and puts you in a "happy place" even if its short-lived. I always come home from shopping feeling refreshed and stress-free....hmmmm.....Can I come with you? ;) LOL!! Take care sweetie. Hope you're feeling better soon. Post pics of your goodies when you get back.:yes:
