"People Who Had To Clean Out Rooms Of Someone Who Had Died, Did You Find Anything You Shouldn’t Have?"

Daniel Figaro

When someone we know leaves this world, emptiness and sorrow will flood our minds. Each one reacts to this loss differently. Some take months or even years to heal. They keep everything as they were when that person was alive, preserving all the memories. Some others pack everything up, clothes, personal assets, and put them all in a safe place, then move on to the next chapter in life. The one who left has already left, the ones who stay need to keep moving forward.
When cleaning up what a person left behind in this world, people will likely stumble upon things they've never seen. When Redditor Scary-Brandon asked fellow users about such experiences, people answered with many heart-warming stories. Even when a person is gone, people can still feel their love and wishes for the ones who stay. Have you ever found anything you shouldn't, and how did it make you feel? We'd love it if you share with us your story in the comment section.
