Looking through it all will hopefully bring back happy memories along with many tears Maggie. You'll probably find it difficult to know what is to stay and what is to go but, personally, I would get rid of the squashed spider.... :-D |

What an awful time for this to happen to your Mum and to you. I hope that something positive comes out of these events for you, Maggie. Enjoy sifting through all her memories, and don't feel guilty about binning the spider! <3 |

Thank you for your kind thoughts. As I said, we can't do anything in the way of cremation etc yet - we have demanded an autopsy, and Portugal closes down for a month over Christmas. |

At least you can sort these things at your leisure Maggie altho I am sure you don't want your home clogged up with numerous boxes and stuff. When my Mum died, after Dad had been gone 5 years, my brothers were a bit too quick at hurling things in a skip so they didn't have to pay any more rent than necessary on her council house (our family home for almost all of my life). It would have been nice to have had the chance to look through more paperwork and such but my brothers aren't sentimental so they weren't bothered. |
