[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 259257, member: 77"] Linda, there's no "ought" to this -- it's when you feel that it's time for you to do it, and until then, just go with the flow. When my mother died, after one week my father asked us three girls to go through all our mum's things and get rid of the lot, and we did it for him more or less within one day, because that's what he wanted. On the other hand, there's a lady whom I work with whose husband died about 5 years ago, and she still won't let us touch a single thing of his -- all his shoes, sweaters, you name it -- all still in its place and heaven help us if we move anything at all. And both ways are fine, everyone has to do what he or she feels is right for them. Whenever you do it, it is hard and distressing, but it has to be done in the end. Sounds like a good idea to make your room into a sort of "den" away from prying eyes, I like that idea. Go easy on yourself, don't force it. It's still very fresh, so take it easy. Sending you a (((((hug))))). Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
