You don't come back from Brain Dead, I know my son Clay would never have been wanted to left in that state, so as A Mom, I had to make the hardes decision in my life, to Let My Child go, and turn off life suport. So I am all to familar at the cost of His niche, Cremation, service upwards of 10grand. I don't wish on any Parent what I had to do that day! Watching My son die Is not an imiage I will ever forget.
In closing the number's do NOT add UP to our Income! and Rent and food is the most expensive and yes the funeral!
If we can get Rent control maybe just maybe we can take a short vacation, buy a pair of new shoes, Levi's, Go to the movies with a friend, not much fun going alone!
We are being hermoraging at everything, it's time we got to have a life spend time with our kids grandkids, family and friends, not worry about birthday presents, xmas, or a simple trip to the dollar store, where well nothing is a dollar anymore, but you can get some things cheaper there.
I am not trying to be a kill joy here or depress anyone, we don't need any more stress, but I feel it has to be out here so we can all see how much we are getting ripped off on just about everything.
again check out webpage numbeo.com but in your info and check other's who are all struggling in Canada. Its Not JUST RENT AND FOOD as you read everything is out of reach.
Please Keep signing and passing it on, and thank you again I am owerwelemed and so grateful for the support. I will not be quite, I will fight and then fight some more of all of US.
Take Care of each other Bunnie
