Jewelry or heirlooms
Meaningful keepsakes that bring peace, not pain
The key is how the item makes you feel.
Emotional Health Matters Most
Grief is deeply personal. There is no universal rule for what should or shouldn’t be kept. If an item brings warmth and comfort, it may be healing. If it causes distress, guilt, or fear, releasing it can be an act of self-care—not forgetting.
The Takeaway
Letting go of certain belongings of a deceased loved one isn’t about loss—it’s about creating space for healing, peace, and emotional balance. Holding memories in the heart matters far more than holding objects in the home.
