I am wearing some of my mom's jewelry to my thanksgiving gathering so that I feel she is there with me. Anyone else do this type of thing?

Yes, I am wearing my moms heart shaped pendent on my gold chain. Us kids had given it to my mom a number of years ago. Moms birthstone is in the middle, surrounded by her kids' birthstone, followed by the grandchildrens 'birthstones. All the stones are real, and it is very attractive.

My Mom made all her clothes, so it's even harder to part with anything in her closet that might go to the poor, etc. Despite her dementia, she even commented twice on my wearing her clothes, which is what I did today. Found something appropriate that fit and wore it and a ring she'd once given me to my father's nursing home.

I lost a brother in Aug of this year. And I put up the fake Christmas tree he bought me yrs ago, when he lived with us. I put it up like a week ago. Makes me feel like he is here with me.

On snow storms and winter days I wear my husbands coat. His dale Earnhart (Nascar sport). Why I do this is because he loved the snow. And because it makes me feel the warmth he always gave me.

I lost my mom in June 04....I had to clean out her whole apartment by myself and with my then fiance's help and was 2 months pregnant at the time..I wear her jewelry everyday...I have all her photos and just everything...I keep her memory alive so that my children will know about her and the kind person she was....and I know she wants me to live my life and take care of her grandkids which is exactly what we are doing! God Bless and do what makes you feel better and closer to your mom.

Yes, I wear my mum's wedding ring and her jewellery. I also use some of her bags. My mum was a bag freak, she had them of all different colours. Having her things with me make me feel closer to her.

I wear my Dad's sweaters and sweatpants constantly. They are too big but it still gives me the comfort of him being with me.

I am wearing a claddagh ring that was my Mom's and was the only piece of jewelry she had on her the day she died. Dad gave it to me after the coroner took it off her finger. I felt weird about putting it on at that point but after a few days went by and the day of her wake came, I put it on and it's felt like the right thing to do ever since.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
