My sister and aunt, so far throughout the process of going through all of mom’s stuff and deciding what to keep and so forth, have adopted the practice of talking to mom. If they can’t find something of mom’s that they know is around somewhere, they will ask her out loud where it is. They say this has helped them find things.
“Mom!” I’ll hear my sister call, “Where are those earrings grandpa gave you?!” or “Where did you put that scarf?”.
I am glad that they are finding ways to get through this, but I wish they wouldn’t do that.
