Letting Go

Today I did the hardest thing I thought I never ever have to do. But looking at my almost non-existent savings, I knew I had no choice. So I calmly told my weekly helper that I could no longer afford to pay her and asked if she'd be ok financially, she said she could manage as my house was not the only one she's cleaning. I explained that times are really bad and once our financials are in order, would she like it if I were to call her back. Thankfully, she said she would love to come back. So it's settled. One less thing I have to pay for. But I really feel bad...
