Episode Description
If you've ever struggled with letting go of sentimental items after loss, I hope today's episode gives you both validation and encouragement.
I talk with Krista St. Germain of the Widowed Moms Podcast, who lost her husband to a drunk driver, and we explore the emotional weight of decluttering a loved one’s belongings.
You'll hear:
• mindset shifts around grief
• what it means to let go in a way that "feels like love"
• why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to releasing sentimental items
This comforting conversation offers gentle guidance for decluttering when space is limited or when keeping certain items no longer feels supportive for your wellbeing.
