"The love stays even if the object goes."
I have been asked many time about how to part with sentimental items. There is no real one answer to that questions. Everyones story is different which makes everyones sentiment different. So I usually have a conversation with my client about the item which then helps me to help them. Having said that here is something you can think of when you are dealing with sentimental items. What emotion is attached to them.
* Love (warm memories, joy)
*Legacy (it reminds you of a persons history )
*Guilt ( I should keep it)
*Obligation ( someone might want it..)
*Identity ( feels tied to who the person was)
If the emotion is love or legacy, the item may be worth keeping.
If the emotion is guilt or obligation, it often isn’t.
If you or someone you know is dealing with how to part with sentimental items contact me.
