I remember feeling drained and discouraged when she left and we hadn't even suffered a loss - we only seriously thought about the "what if" scenario. Sending heartfelt hugs as you work your way through this emotionally exhausting process.

My company also accepted pieces at a time as they also had to enter everything into their computer. Just do your best my love. You have what is most important.

And they...No, your "things" are valuable. And they have value to all of us, though perhaps in different ways, but those of us who are quilters understand that every pin, scrap, ruler has great value...especially when they are gone. Those who have raised and trained a brilliant show dog or horse or calf understand the loss of every little memento. We understand that when something is lost, it may be replaced with another item, but nothing will ever be THAT item. No dress will ever be that dress that Carrie wore to a special event. As parents we get that. It's the memories that you're mourning. And it's okay to mourn the loss of those "things" that were attached to the memories. After all, each item conjures up a specific memory, and who doesn't fear the loss of any memory? We get it because it's our fear, too. <br /><br />Gosh, I hope I'm helping just a little and wish I could help so much more.
