Death | When do you clean out a loved ones closet after they have died?

One of the most commonly asked questions I get from those that have experienced loss is: When is the right time to clean out my loved one’s closet? This is one of the hardest and most gut wrenching things I have had to do. In week 3 of my Grow Through Your Grief Program I give you the crucial questions to ask yourself to see if you are ready One of those questions are: 1) Does the thought of letting those belongings go create panic, anxiety, and stress? If the answer to that is yes then: Congratulations! Do NOTHING. The time is not right. Don’t add more to your plate right now. Wait until those emotions of panic and stress change. If letting go of those belongings create extreme stress take courage that you are not alone and you don’t need to clean that closet out yet. Take your time. Don’t push yourself farther than your emotional strength wants to allow right now. · Elisabeth Kubler-Ross said beautifully “ Denial helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is nature’s way of letting in only as much as we can handle” And if you cannot handle the thoughts of going through that closet right now – DON’T WORRY you will get there in time. This is one part of week 3’s curriculum in my Grow Through Your Grief Program that starts tomorrow night.
