Has anyone ever been where I’m at now?

Man I'm feel so much hurt inside that my life got so side tracked by a train. That I sold all my coins and have only a few coins 39 to be exact that I held on to just couldn't let go. But I had to sell a lot of things If I was going to make it though one of the roughs spot in my life I have had in years. Then I totally stopped what I loved so much with a passion. So now I look at threads and I have mixed emotions about it. My eyes are wide open because every coin no matter the grade looks great to me. But my heart feels Heavy, because I gave up so much mostly the joy of collecting. What brought me personal happiness. I just have to start over from the bottom. I know it will be fun. But that pain is something else.

  • At least you were able to hold on to a few of your favorites. Coins come and go, collections get refocused, but the passion stays the same. image

    There's plenty more out there to be had. image Welcome back!!!!

    Madame,

    What do you mean "my life got so side tracked by a train" ??

    They say that it is at times like this in a person's life that the Darkside beckons. image

    Actually, that was literally what happened to me when I had to sell my US collection. Since then, I've collected nothing but Darkside, quite happily.

    How about telling us about the 39 coins?

    It only takes one new purchase and a new direction to get back on the tracks, re-railing the train, so to speak.image

    I can empathize but have not experienced this with my coins since my collection was quite tiny.

    You do have the ability to rebuild your collection with a great deal more knowledge. This is not
    only more knowledge about the coins but about yourself and your needs.

    Good luck. I'm sure you'll find the same satisfaction and enjoyment you did before and the pain
    will ease. Time heals all wounds and this type is more easily redressed than many. Collecting
    again is probably the best medicine.

  • Thank yoy to everyone who responded. Sorry for the delay in answering. After I wrote response I had to lay down


    Hit by a train – Going through a divorce custody battle and homeless. I think I could have dealt with divorce and being kicked out. But not having my 9 month old with me and all of this coming out after the blue a few days after our first anniversary was a lot to handle. I was a stay at home mom use to being with my child. We both are in counseling. But not together counseling anymore. I try not to ask myself anymore, because the answers he gives never the same never the same. We are back together now. But the divorce has not been dropped. So only the future knows what will happen next. But the best thing is I see my son every day again. I didn't miss out on his first steps.

    This week I will work on posting some of the coins I did keep. Since new members never have seen them. I might not have had the few if it wasn't for my mother. She said you can't sell everything you own. So I saved the coin and my Lenox china trimmed in 22kt Gold. and a 22kt gold bracelet and a few pieces of jewlery that had been given to me as gift. Or my first like first pearl necklace.
