My Story and Why Im Poshing

Like and save for later

Hey All - I wanted to introduce myself and share a little of my story and tell you where my items come from and why I have started Poshing. First, I am so grateful for this community. I have been a caregiver for my grandmother for the past 3 years, up until recently when she passed away. This isn't a sad thing. She was 10 days away from turning 103 and lived her life to the fullest up until her very last day. She was my whole life during the pandemic and without her, Im not sure I would be the person I am today. We were an unlikely pair and we became the very best of friends over the years especially during some pretty isolating times. We supported each other when I lost my mom in June of 2021 - I know, I know... Ugh! Losing my mom, my grandmother and having to put my dog, Phred (all pictured in the attached photo on the day of my grandmothers 100th birthday) down in a matter of 10 months has put me in a really interesting transitional time of my life. All of the sadness aside, I am trying to lighten my load and make some money for my next adventure. I don't really know where Im going or what Im doing, but I have to be out of my grandmothers house by 7/1/22 so they can put it on the market. Story continued in notes...

akanelane I moved in with my grandmother with a small suitcase that I packed for a 2 week trip to visit and then... life happened and I was here 3 years. During that 3 years I have acquired more "shtuff" than I know what to do with and frankly its a bit embarrassing. I only want to bring what I can fit in my car. I am open to all offers within reason. I am so grateful for the way Posh has taken my attention off of the hard stuff while still allowing me to think about the good stuff. So, Welcome! Jess

clsimp563 Hi Jessica, thanks so much for the shares. As I was sharing some of your items, I came across your story. Mine is kind of similar. I appreciate your honesty and openness, it can be hard to share with people you don't know. I decided to try out Poshmark because I am going through a transitional phase in my life, helping my Dad downsize his house, and also trying to figure out my next step. Poshmark has so many caring people, who are very supportive of each other. A really wonderful community.

akanelane @clsimp563 yes yes! Life has its ups and downs and I really enjoy finding a community of great people.

slmpickens @akanelane ♥️🫂 I hadn’t read this yet until after going through your closet and talking to you initially. Wow, “it’s been tough” I’m sure is an understatement. Sending as much positive energy as I can to you. That was this past summer, but still so recent still. One day at a time… 🧡🧡

Dec 05Reply

akanelane @slmpickens thank you. It’s been a ride for sure but I’m finally starting to do some things for myself and find my place again. Hopefully… sooner rather than later. This community and the act of selling things has been such a help. The memories and the stories etc. it’s like therapy.

santokyo Thank you for sharing about your beautiful grandmother and beautiful mother. Your story reminded me that I lost my grandmother and my mother only a month and a half apart in 2006. My mother was only age 60. You and me are both stronger because of wonderful grandmothers and mothers. Take care and looking forward to communicate sometime soon again!

kirstyscloset Hey Jessica, I read your story and I just want to give you the biggest hug ever! 🥺🤗 I’m so sorry you went through all that loss. I relate to your story a lot actually. I’ve been going through so much loss back to back for decades (I’m 40 now) and still going through it. I joined Poshmark in 2022 for the same reason! If you ever need someone to talk to, you can always talk to me! Big hugs! Hang in there love, you’re not alone!-Kirsten 🤗💕
