what can i do to make up for poor mums sorrow?

Question

following two deaths in our family , my mum decided to take myself and three young children to london for the day during the half term to try and give us a special day out. only to discover on the train home her purse was missing. this has left us with even more sorrow and for a lady who has always gone without for others left me devastated. i need to see her smile once more what can i do? taking into account im on a low income with 3 children. She feels the purse containing over a hundred pound in vouchers went missing on the train from kings cross to retford yet nobody of authority wants to know.

Answer 1

Often people in that situation dont want pitty, so try avoiding that. And what I always did if I was short on cash and didnt have much food, I would have a bring and braai.. which is bring your own drinks and bring your own food but we can have a party at my place. Often there is so much left over I can eat for a week. Plus the party might cheer her up and let her remember she has friends/family.
