There is definitely something therapeutic about packing up all the little crap W left behind to give to her tomorrow. Or just tossing stuff away that has no meaning anymore and never really did just kind of took up space. No I am not packing anything that is sentimental or will make her cry. Just dumb crap like a shirt she left. Pair of socks that ended up in with a some laundry. All of her coffee cups. I don't need that here. She can do what she pleases with it.
The down side is there is one picture frame I hadn't touched yet. It had 5 of 9 pics of us or her with kids. They had to come out. I'm done with bare walls in parts of my house. So that was no issue. The issue came when looking through a stack of pics to find replacements and there were some that were a little much. Like wedding. Dating pics. And the big one was our first pic together. It definitely was tough but they are all put away now. Where I won't be rifling through them again. Now. I have to put my photography skills to work so I can fill these frames and have lots of pics for when I get more frames!
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
