Losing a loved one is devastating. We search for familiar things, clinging to what remains: a watch, a pillow, a bottle of perfume. But some objects, far from offering comfort, can perpetuate the pain, block our energy, and transform our home into a place frozen in the past. Are you struggling to move forward? One of these memories might be the culprit…
Stopped clocks: a frozen symbol or a blocked emotion?
Have you kept a watch that stopped precisely at the moment of death? It’s a meaningful gesture… but sometimes one with heavy consequences. Behind this object frozen in time lies an invisible anchor. It holds us back, as if our own lives have been put on pause.
Psychologically, these objects can reinforce a feeling of stagnation. It then becomes difficult to return to a normal rhythm of life, regain confidence, or even sleep well. Not to mention the atmosphere they create in the home: heavy, rigid, sometimes oppressive.
Our advice : if this watch still works and makes you smile, keep it. Otherwise, thank it silently… and let it go. It’s a small step towards a new beginning.
Medical devices: when memory rhymes with pain
Half-full medicine boxes, a blood pressure monitor forgotten in a drawer, a syringe in a kit… These everyday medical items are often left “just in case”. But what do they really tell us?
They are reminders of illness, vulnerability, and difficult final days. Even when put away, they unconsciously weigh on our morale. And their constant presence can create a latent tension in the atmosphere of the home.
To do : dispose of these items carefully. A pharmacy can help you get rid of them safely. You’ll free up space—and, more importantly, a part of your mind.
Intimate clothing and bedding: warmth or invisible weight?
Pajamas still imbued with her scent. Her favorite pillow. A sheet that hasn’t been washed in ages… These textiles may seem comforting, but they are often charged with very strong emotional energy.
