When a loved one dies, never keep these 4 items: for the sake of peace

Biological Memories: When Love Binds Too Strongly

A lock of hair, a baby tooth, or something that still retains its scent: these small relics often arise from a deep love. But these physical fragments bind us to the body, not the soul. And true healing comes from reconnecting with the spirit, not with the remains.

These objects can sustain an emotional bond that feels comforting but suffocating, making true healing more difficult.

What helps: If separation seems impossible, organize a silent farewell ritual. Light a candle, say a few words of thanks, and free your heart with love. It’s not forgetting, it’s liberating.
What is worth keeping

Not all memories bring pain. Some hold pure light:

A photo of their happiest smile.
A handwritten letter full of warmth.
A jewel, a book or something that brings them joy.

These memories tell stories of life, not loss. They lift the heart instead of weighing it down. Preserve what reminds you of love, not what keeps you in pain
