TC, I'm sorry you're having to go through this. When my dad died, the hardest part for me, beyond the sadness of losing my father, was the going through the contents of the house; pulling apart the tangible memories and taking them away.
If it had been possible to just close the place up and come back later, I know I would have done that. But it all happened in a hurry, and it did provoke the rekindling of old spats between siblings. It was a really upsetting time.I think that you're doing really well at keeping yourself safe here. And I think that you'll enjoy having your old stuff with you - kind of like making your own home complete. Don't know if that makes sense, but when I had to do it, I got some comfort at having my childhood things with me and not in my dad's home any more.
(((TC)))
