My mam died a couple of years back and my dad is now in a home so we're clearing out the house. Some of the stuff, I've put on eBay or gumtree... stuff that none of us wanted.
However, the whole process seems so f***ing tawdry and I'm in bits here. To think that I'm selling stuff my mam loved just feels so wrong but the alternative would be to just let someone else do it and take the money.
I'd thought of spending the money on a big family meal on her birthday but that just seems frivolous when I think about it. I think it will have to go to charity as that's what she would want.
I know I'm soft as shite but others must have felt this way too... right?
I know what you mean. My wife died 6 months ago and her clothes, jewellery etc are still with me. We talked and said we would do it all together when we were ready. Not looking forward to it.

This.Spend the money on a family meal or weekend away, I’m sure ya ma would rather you enjoyed it than a stranger. But whatever you decide to do won’t be the wrong thing.

I agreeSpend the money on a family meal or weekend away, I’m sure ya ma would rather you enjoyed it than a stranger. But whatever you decide to do won’t be the wrong thing.
