In reply to the discussion: Shannen Doherty Says She's Preparing for Death ... Giving Away Personal Items [View all]BigmanPigman
(51,795 posts)34. I am an extremely sentimental person
and the emotional toll it would take for me to throw cherished items away would be bad for me. I have been dealing with this thought for 4 years and I know my disposition. The dumbest, smallest items are cherished in my memories. The tiny shiny stone I got at Crystal Cave, my old dogs' baby teeth, etc. Silly, meaningless items to anyone else on the planet are treasures to me.
I have already told my family (which is not sentimental at all) that my friend will go through my things after I die and I already discussed it with her. My family is glad they won't have to go through my stuff. I just can not part with my memories easily.
