À propos de ce contenu audio
What happens the day you finally face their closet? The dresser, the bathroom counter, the clothes that still hold their scent — and the keepsakes you didn’t even know existed?
For me, it took three years before I could begin. I sat in Christie’s closet in silence, surrounded by her things — smelling her perfume, holding her clothes, finding old letters, cards, and pictures she had saved since high school. I even discovered notes I wrote to her, Mother’s Day cards, and love letters I had forgotten about.
In this episode of After the Silence, I share the deeply emotional experience of emptying a spouse’s closet after loss — the grief, the guilt, the unexpected discoveries, and the choices: save, donate, share with family, or preserve as a legacy. I also talk about digitizing photos and old VHS tapes, and how reliving our youth together gave me both tears and gratitude.
This episode is about more than letting go. It’s about honoring a life, keeping memories alive, and creating a legacy for future generations.
