Shopping while home depressed

Yes, deep sympathy from here in the Catalina Foothills...
Grief is weird too, it affects different people in different ways. And it doesn't have to
make sense.

Hoping your gear problems get sorted out by warranty. Polishing out the scratches might
really work, and if you get to keep that limited edition guitar you liked, that's a good thing.
So I hope you get satisfaction some way.

And I wish you peace in the grieving process. It is a process. Sometimes I hear some dumb old
song on the radio and it makes me think of my dad and I have to pull over, because tears are
running down my face. He died in 1985 and I ain't over it yet. I'm mostly over it, but it still
comes back and punches me in the stomach when I least expect it.

Concur with what you said about grief. And the having to pull over. Driving home from work one night several years after my mom died..... same deal. A memory hit me and it got pretty hard to see to drive. You just never know what’s gonna trigger it.... I just know when it does you gotta let it happen. It’s the only way to work your way thru the process. Not saying you ever get over it....you don’t..... but you do finally arrive at a new reality.
 
It is almost always really difficult. I lost my mom in 1995, so I would have been 29. She was 53 as I am now. Cancer, she knew about it and didn't tell anyone. For about the last year of her life she was always making comments like: I won't be around forever. We just waved that stuff off thinking she was being silly. She ended up collapsing in a parking lot after work and slipped into a coma. A blood clot had broken free from the cancer and moved to her brain. Being divorced my brother and I had to make the decision to pull life support. My grandmother was there. It was a very devastating situation and I never got to say goodbye.
 
My condolences as well. Having lost love ones including my first born, the pain never goes completely away. As the years pass, it doesn't come to mind as often. I find it's worse after I have a dream about them being ok, then I wake and reality hits me. Keep busy in both mind and body. That will help. A hobby like guitars is perfect.
 
My condolences to you and your family John , I know how this feels.
There are no words that will ease the pain, but as others have said before me.
We are all here for you.
The items you have purchased will get righted, time is the only thing that can make the other pains more bearable.

John, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. We lost my wife's father due to dementia related issues and I lost my father in '87, my mother in '09. Losing parents is never easy although we as their children always know that they will go sometime. My sincere condolences for your loss.
 
Condolences, SG John.

Dementia is certainly an impossibly frustrating and hurtful situation; my grandfather died of dementia, and your kitchen example resonates.

You're a proper SG man, so I hope that special eventually shines upon the fond memories of your father. Sometimes, it doesn't just rain it pours.
