I need to do 'all that' with much of my late wife's things. Same here with SA. I'm in no hurry and not ready. I feel like when I'm ready I will know. Some of her friends keep buggin' me with the whole "I'll come over and we can go
through it together" her sisters are the worst - I'm sorry but no. I know their hearts are in the good place but still.
I know people who do it the weekend of the funeral, and others like me, who wait years...
I did get rid of a couple things, maybe a grocery bag worth, in the last year or so. But I just couldn’t make myself do any more.
I’m putting his little trinkets in a box for the kids and his sister to go
through. They don’t need to see all his clothes and shoes etc. it’s too hard.
And I’m not organized, I was even worse after his death. I opened a box today was supposed to be hats. Had all the condolences cards and my birthday cards, just a few weeks after, that I had never read. Hell.
We can only face what we can, and in our own time. I still have some stuff to go
through inside. The garage will be a real killer. Not looking forward to that.
