I understand, I really do, but consider that in the sadness and duty of clearing things out, she held memories in her hands. Some would have been treasured. She would have smiled more than once. That she spent so long doing this also suggests it may have been cathartic for her. That said, I keep very, very little myself, but for different reasons (I simply don't need anywhere near the stuff I have and tend to clean ruthlessly every now and again). I will also suggest that gifts given years ago have far less value now.
