The emotional weight hidden in each drawer
Even if you think you’ve moved on, every object you keep acts like a subtle sting. Opening a cupboard, stumbling upon a forgotten shirt, can trigger a wave of emotions. This maintains a persistent emotional fragility , often invisible but very real.
It’s not about erasing memories, but about giving them a peaceful space in our minds, without letting objects become a prison. Ultimately, isn’t true homage found more in what we keep within ourselves than on a shelf?
Rethinking one’s space in order to rebuild oneself
Changing the layout of your home, rearranging a room, repainting a wall… These seemingly insignificant actions can have a real impact on our well-being. They help us turn the page smoothly, to reclaim our living space.
Changing someone’s environment isn’t about “erasing” them; it’s about accepting that life goes on, and that we deserve an environment conducive to our well-being. Rebuilding oneself also means this: recreating a haven where one feels comfortable, in harmony with one’s new reality.
What if we made room for the light?
Grief is a personal journey, sometimes winding, never linear. There’s no right or wrong way to navigate it. But if you feel that an object weighs you down more than it comforts you, it might be a sign that it’s time to let it go. To regain a sense of lightness… and welcome light back into your daily life.
