I lost my wife in June last year. Most of my wife’s clothes I have already disposed of but I’ve kept some important items such as the blouse she wore at our wedding 7 years ago. Generally though, the house is much as it was when she died and I’m in no hurry to sort things out. The important thing is only to sort through things when you are comfortable doing so, and when you feel it is the right time. If it’s too upsetting then leave it for another time.
