Losing a loved one turns everything upside down. Daily life, familiar routines, emotions… And often, we try to cling to what remains: objects, clothes, a scent, a book on a table. But not all material mementos are helpful. Some, on the contrary, can hinder the grieving process, maintaining a painful rather than a soothing connection.
Without resorting to superstition or taboos, it's helpful to know which objects are best avoided after a death. Not to forget, but to free ourselves, move forward… and make room for serenity.
