The hard part of bringing knick knacks from my mother´s house.

Tweet

I have been bringing all sorts of things from my mother´s house and so has my brother. We are both experiencing the pain of the asociation of material things with what for decades was the house of our elders. When my father passed away, nothing much was changed. My mother lived in the house and I helped her give away my father´s clothes. But pictures, rugs, furniture, all was kept in the same place. Now all has to go. First we must take with us the books and so many small things that my parents bought in a life together. We have decided to show the house that is going to be bought with all the furniture, but each of us is making lists of what we want in case noone wants it. I don´t like the feeling and I am worried that some unsaid things will mean future problems with my siblings. Do you have experience in dealing with the belongings of your dead loved ones?
