I'm having a hard time with my mom's belongings. I don't think I can part with any of her things. Her dresses, shows, bags, even her toothbrush.
Been 39 days today she's left me...I don't think I cam ever part with her stuff. It's not that I'm in peace looking at them. Just the opposite. Feel like bawling out everytime I see the shoes she bought but never used, the cutlery she loved, the unworn dresses, the list is endless. Too many memories....
At the same time, whenever the thought crosses my mind that I will probably need to give some away, I feel like I'm stealing from her. I've put her pictures everywhere...they don't give me comfort. But when I take them off, feels like I'm throwing her out of the house...after all this is HER house, not mine!
Anyone else had this dilemma?

Im with you. My husband past on 12/30/09. I still have he clothing to go though. Im planing on giving the clothing to a group home for adult mentally handicap. I know they don't have a lot of things so they would be glad to get some nice thing to wear. I ask my adult children to help me clean thing out I don't want to do it alone.
