      From m9370 October 4

      I am the same way. I just cannot get to the clothes. I did clear out several of his desk drawers. But I cannot do the dresser either. I walk by them many times a day and think I have to do it and then do something else. A friend told me it took over a year until she couold do the sorting and she still kept lots of his things.
