I think you're right, unfortunately. If it's not lost wholesale (as in my parents' case) it's a war of attrition. They had a number of interesting artifacts (my mother's Australian) and other items that would've been of value for posterity's sake. Especially now that my father has since passed--photographs from his earlier years would have been worth much more to us now. As a Christian, I'm not hugely fussed over the loss of the material things, but the archivist in my heart is pained to no end!
