cabinet fell off the wall while I was out. handmade dishes I've collected from little shops and farmers markets over the years, now shattered. I guess it's fine i don't have dishes anymore, since the cabinet knocked open the fridge door, ruining all my food.

The worst part of this is losing your keepsakes. It's easy enough to replace the food, but the destruction of handcrafted items is a low blow.

On a lighter note, you'll get to eat out for awhile guilt free.

Losing irreplaceable things is really rough. Recently I was listening to a podcast and they talked about this concept where you look at events like this and instead of getting upset and wishing it hadn't happened, just accept it and say "nothing can be done."

As depressing as that sounds, my family has been through two floods where we've lost literally everything of sentimental and monetary value, and that mindset is the only thing that kept me moving and out of a dark place.

The Japanese believe mended things are beautiful because of their wear. I've saved a couple broken treasures, that are better for the wear.

Here's the most annoying video ever about the lazy way to do it.

I'm so sorry, OP. I hope some of those memories live on.
