Very Sad Today
While painting my kitchen, I had an accident. I broke a clock my brother gave me just before he committed suicide. I’ve had it for 17 years.
It’s silly, but I loved this clock – and had a lot of memories attached to it.
It’s not easy to replace – I’ve only seen a few, and the few I’ve seen are expensive (see here for an ebay auction for one…that I can’t afford.
I know I’ll find another eventually, but after packing it from here to Los Angeles and back again, it makes me sad that a stupid mistake from me shattered it into a million pieces.
So, I’m very sad today.

Luckily, you can replace yours, just as I can mine, but I know, it's not the same. Perhaps you can save the original, and buy another to put a "new" glass on it or?

Is there a way to take it to a repair shop and get it fixed? Another thought might be to try to make something new from it. We have a store near us that features all things that have been recycled from something else, for example, some coasters that were made from old records. I know it wouldn't be the same as having the clock the way you've always known it, but it might be a way to preserve what's really important about it to you, which is the sentimental attachment.
But thank you for the idea to save some pieces and make something with it! That's a great idea. Out to the garbage can!
I am so sorry.
If I had one, I would send it to you for sure.
Kim is right,,, the memories can not ever be broken

Very sad to hear this news - HATE trying to replace things that just seem irreplaceable. It's the lost connection... So sorry.

Surely you can come up with something clever to do with it. I will do some thinking too.
