Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: Why do we board up the windows of abandoned or currently renovating buildings instead of leaving the glass? by bandreasr
At my old job I managed a portfolio of REO properties in Chicago (houses that defaulted on their mortgages —> foreclosure went through —> lender owns house). We had to get the heavy duty steel window coverings to keep squatters and gangs out.

Reply to LPT: How to support someone grieving: the process is not linear and often takes longer than people think (even, and sometimes especially, when the relationship with the deceased was painful or estranged). A year may seem like a long time since a death, but to the grieving, it can feel very recent. by survivalothefittest
My mom never got an opportunity to properly grieve her mother (family drama being the main reason). It’s really hard to watch her during a down moment. I know she’s got years of work ahead. I always tell her grief is our final act of love.
