When a family member dies, never throw away these four things after the funeral

When a family member dies, never throw away these four things after the funeral.
In the whirlwind of grief, we might be tempted to leave everything behind, to throw it all away. But these documents are often the most intimate testaments to how much they loved us, encouraged us, or simply thought of us. Keep them in a memory box, even if you’re not ready to reread them right away.

Their voice: a touching memory.
With our cell phones, we can now save voice recordings just like we save photos. A simple “Call me when you can” or “I’m sending you a huge kiss” can, over time, become a memory of great emotional value.
