Just wanted to know when people sort personal items out if ever or partially. Eg toothbrush/clothing etc
Hi @Sah28 I personally haven’t been able to sort out any of my husband stuff and I don’t think I ever will. I did throw away one pair of worn shoes which made me cry. Every thing else is left where it was. I did give his smart wii game to his best friend as I know that he would want that. My son has insured my husband car for another year. None of my husband items are getting in the way. I kept all his clothes in his wardrobe. It gives me comfort or otherwise I would have a empty wardrobe which will make it real and I am not at that stage yet. X

Young like my husband. We Have been robbed of our future plans and dreams. Life is very unfair and cruel. Very early days for you also. I am no way ready to sort out my husband stuff as gives me comfort. You will be ready when you are ready which may be never. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Do what is best for you. Big hugs xx

Hi ,I still have all my husband’s things, dressing gown on door, trainers on bedroom floor, all his aftershave on drawers,wardrobe full of his cloths ,his work jacket still at back door, every scrap of paper he wrote on as well. I even have his radiation mask.i hate it ,but it’s his face. I can’t part with anything, 22 months since he died, and they aren’t going anywhere. I know we are all different,so just move things in your own time, when and if ever you feel ready, All xtake carex

Hi , @Rugby , we were both 59 when my husband died. Together from 16 so all my adult life, so I don’t know any other life. I still class this as my husband home, so his things will stay, I think of it as just a house now without him here, I know that doesn’t really make sense, but it does to me
. X take carex
