💯 it's so hard to get rid of all the things. The book I saw was talking about how we associate the things with memories instead of thinking about the memory being in us and the things are just things. It hit home for me in a big way.
That makes a lot of sense. It is still a big process of grieving, even if it is just stuff. Even grieving the belief that the memory is in the thing haha
It is just layers of emotions right now. I am also getting rid of some things that belonged to my best friend who died in 2024. So that added a new sense of exhaustion to the sorting today.
🫂🫂 so sorry, I can only imagine the emotional exhaustion from that.
I told the husband that I feel silly for wanting a book to teach me/tell me it's okay to throw things out.
🫂🫂
A friend said asking "is this essential?" might help. I can see that helping cut through the emotions...always gotta make sure you are asking the right questions.
I definitely don't think it is silly. Hell, I need an emotional support person to hold my hand right now 😂 A book is nothin'! But seriously, I think the book just guides you to think about it properly. Gotta reframe the situation with different thoughts. If a book gets you there, then do it!
I feel like a bunch of us would benefit from a decluttering expert...
