My heart goes out to you, brucep, time doesn’t make loss less. What is gone is gone, but time does give us perspective, allows us to walk in the waves without drowning.
Write a poem and let go of one item tomorrow, then maybe 2 items on Tuesday. Donating to charity eases the loss. Knowing what you release will help another is cathartic.
Perhaps, first choosing what to keep will make the process easier. We all need our keepsakes.
Sending hugs of understanding from here to there ❤️
