It sounds like you were very thoughtful in your participation on the grief pages, but got punished as if you were only there to post ads for your book.<br /><br />Regarding today's topic, I'm only 4 years out, but I have no expectations of ever getting rid of my son's things. When I compare my son's possessions to my possessions, if anyone's need to be pared down, it would definitely be MINE. If I can't have my son's presence, why deny myself and my family his earthly possessions? I don't see my keeping or discarding my son's possessions as a sign that I'm coping well with my grief... It is, what it is. <br /><br />My son's younger brother has worn a few of his things. The first time created a few sniffles, but after that, it was actually quite nice to see my oldest son's clothing on my youngest son. Passed down like they would have been if the tragedy hadn't struck our family. But they're still in our home, and I still have plenty stored away that I can go through anytime I want...... :)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954213595768588402noreply@blogger.com
