Thanks everyone please read and reply Sorry for your loss friend. It's good to have an escape from reality and collecting is a great way to do it. However, don't lose sight of your emotions and bottle them up or ignore them, as it will only serve to harm you some time down the road. How about going back and getting some of the classics and looking into older dvds and such to learn more about the superstars and wrestlers like Andre, DDP, Bundy, Arn, Tully etc? It could also be a nice way to learn more about about Wrestling and give you new figures to chase after. Keep your head and God Bless. |

SOrry for your loss. When I lost my grandfather I was very much in a similar situation. I have very little family and it was difficult to cope. But figures really did help me in so many ways. Finding 1/500's were awesome pick me ups, and going from store to store (this was during the Jakks days in 2006) and finding new stuff was super. I was in a serious depression when he died, but figures really helped me get through it, and also this website. I had formed some decent relationships on here (the guys don't collect anymore but I wish them the best) so this forum helped a lot too.
Good luck with getting through it, just remember that life starts again every morning, and only you can control your destiny. I wish you luck, it may sound crass but it's true, it can only get better from here, because each day you grow stronger and learn more how to cope with the loss. Best wishes friend. PM me if you ever want to talk.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I just want to pass on a little advice that'll go a long way. I see you're young still from your profile. Especially if you're living on your own, or even if you're not, this can be a wonderful and enriching hobby. I've been collecting anything and everything since I was just a little boy. Keep your head throughout all this. When you're in a low spot it can feel easy to buy a lot more and drop more money than you would on a smooth sailing day. Always regulate. When I was your age (not that long ago, only 7 fast years) I nearly went broke on my hobbies. And then my car broke down. That was the first crisis I had to face. I could barely scrape by then for another year, it crippled me that much financially. Just be careful. That said, every day is a healing, and have as much fun as you possibly can.
