173: I Can’t Get Rid of My Child’s Things

This week’s topic is one that can bring a lot of emotion with it, because when our child is gone, all we have left are memories and their belongings. Should we be packing up their things by a certain time? What if I want to keep everything and take it with me if I have to move? These kinds of questions (and answers) take us all over the place with how different our situations are and where we are on this unwanted journey, and that’s okay. Listen in as Laura shares from several parents on this subject, (including some who lost their child over thirty years ago) as well as some of her own experiences and thoughts.
