Hi. New to the site.  My husband died in May, his end exacerbated by Covid lockdown.  Currently struggling with overhwelming stuff and how to deal with it.   Stuff my husbank kept of his mom and dad, stuff he inherited from an ex partner – stuff thats meaningless to me but meaningful to him.  I move it from room to room, hoping it might become meaningful – but I just want to chuck it – and that then makes me feel guilty.   How do I deal wih this – I feel as if I’ve become the curator in my husbands life museum.

Hi there ..

So sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment…. and moving on is just as painful … if it were me, I’d sort out the things I want to keep … things that I’d like to hold on to … then gradually take the stuff that’s appropriate to a hospice shop .. where it may go to someone who’ll look after it .. anything else let go … because your husband lives in your heart now … you dont need things … try not to feel guilty , i think lots of us have been in your posistion .. ive got the ring i brought my mum when i started work .. she never took it off .. thirty years later, i still wear it and treasure the meaning … 

We are more then things .. those things we kept when alive, we don’t need when we go … I’d rather be remembered with love, not things … so be kind to yourself … it’s just a different chapter in your life .. it doesn’t take away from what you had … Chrissie x
