When a loved one dies, what do you do with all the stuff they left behind?
This is a common stuck point for people in grief. Our memories of a person are often attached to their things. Getting rid of their stuff can feel like you are throwing them away; like you are losing them all over again; like a part of you is being thrown away too. Add guilt and overwhelm to the mix, and it’s easy to see how doing nothing feels like the best option in the moment.
I remember a time in my own grief journey where I felt like if I let go of my grief, it would mean I didn’t love my husband enough. My love for him had become attached to my grief and his death. But he was so much more than that, and so was I.
Eventually, when I allowed myself to let go of the grief, the Love was actually able to expand because it wasn’t stuck in the past any more.
