No will no. The only discussion we had was about me keeping her jewellery which of course I’ll treasure. Hopefully the charities and charity shops will open up soon so I can start sorting. It feels weird keeping things that are just ‘things’ when I’m sure someone less fortunate would be grateful for them. Choosing charities she supported is a nice idea. Even money raised on eBay could be donated. She’d like that xReally sorry that you have lost your Mum, that's really sad.
I'd do what's best and easiest for you, has she left a will or did she talk to you about wanting to leave anything to anyone? I think its a personal decision really. You could also think about your Mums values etc and if she supported any charities etc. I'd think about it.
Also a lot of the charities will collect from the house now as well, so you dont have to be carrying loads of bags round to the shop etc.x
My Dad doesn’t really hold any sentiment to clothes and things like that. He still lives in the house and every corner of the house has memories. It’s more the general clothes and stuff mums accumulate. I’d like to think others could benefit from it as it’s all nice stuff. Maybe I’ll keep a capsule of her favourites xFirstly, my condolences.
You don't mention your dad much apart from saying he's still around. Does he have any say in what happens? Clothes and shoes are obviously very personal items which you'll always associate with your mum. In my opinion it'd be weird seeing them on someone else so I'd be looking to charity them or give them to a clothing bank.
For jewelry and ornaments, why not keep some of the more sentimental pieces and then sell the others? It's hard to know exactly what to say because everyone's own experiences will be different.
This has made me feel so much better. Thank you. P.S she was a mad shoe collector so those Manolos are all mine!!!! xxHi. I lost my mum a year ago and we still haven’t cleared out anything from her room. I have started making a memory box of things to remember her by like her favourite DVD, glasses, jewellery ect. Some of the clothes my nan bought her for the Christmas that year she never got to wear so I ended up taking them home and wearing them! It felt good to put life into those items as they were just in the wardrobe and I felt like they were dying too. I have kept one of her jumpers with her smell on too. Don’t rush, take your time and don’t worry, you will know what’s right! So sorry for your loss
Yesss you wear those shoes with prideThis has made me feel so much better. Thank you. P.S she was a mad shoe collector so those Manolos are all mine!!!! xx
