Just a quick question for any other widowers, widows, or others who have lost a partner.

My house is full of things that my wife accumulated. Many are both useful and I use many of them, clothes, books, furnishings, handbags, etc. And many are so closely associated with her that they are mementoes to be kept even though I have no use for them. But many are of no use to me and not really a memento either so I should sell it or give them away.

But sometimes the thought of doing this gives me an uncomfortable feeling that I am somehow being disloyal. I know that she would tell me I was being pointlessly sentimental, but the feeling is hard to shake off nonetheless.

So to the question: does anyone else feel this way?
