Hi Rosa,

First, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Losing someone you love only two days ago is incredibly painful, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure about what to do right now.

Personally, I don’t think there’s any rush to make a decision. If cleaning her sewing room feels too overwhelming at the moment, it’s okay to take a break and give yourself some time to grieve. The room has been there for years, and a few more days or weeks won’t change that.

If your grandfather is comfortable with it, you might consider talking with him before continuing. He may have thoughts about what he would like to keep, donate, or preserve. Sometimes going through a loved one’s belongings can be emotional but also healing.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re carrying a lot right now, and the fact that you’re trying to help your grandfather while grieving your grandmother shows how much you care. Wishing you strength and peace in the days ahead. ❤️
