“You can’t drink from an empty cup”

Author : From a good friend

This is an expression from a good friend who, after losing a loved one, had to pick herself up and get on with life.  The expression means you have to look after yourself to have the energy to give to others. If you keep putting other people first, you’ll soon find that you haven’t got anything left in the tank.   Self-care is the most important!
