This week's #ThrowbackThursday podcast is Episode number 87 - What Do You Save When a Loved One Passes?

As an adult, I have settled my father’s estate and helped many clients as they do the same. It is never easy. This week on the podcast, I delve deep into the thoughts you may have, questions to ask yourself, and tips for how and when and what to take as you say good bye to your loved one. Five years seems to be the magic amount of time that needs to pass before full closure seems to settle in.

If you tend to say, “No, that’s okay, I don’t need anything,” I encourage you to think of one thing that you would like from someone who has passed away. It can be as simple as a button box. Or as complicated as a handmade manger. And, likely, what you choose will not make sense to those around you and that’s okay. It’s all about you.

If you tend to want to keep everything, go ahead. The grieving process is long and individualized. The last thing you want to do is give up something you’re not ready to give up yet.

Listen in and hear as I talk through some of my decisions about what to keep, what to get rid of, and how to honor the memories of those I love.
