When a family member dies, never throw away these four items at their funeral…

Instead of throwing them away, set them aside and organize an afternoon of reminiscing with older family members. They’ll recognize faces, share anecdotes, and share a part of your family history you may not have known.

Why it’s important to choose carefully

After a funeral, the desire   to “make space”   can be a way to close a chapter or soothe the grief. However, some memories, even the smallest ones, can become turning points in moments of nostalgia.

Don’t force yourself to review everything immediately. Take your time and keep what you consider valuable close at hand, even if it seems insignificant today.
