In Reply to: What to do with sympathy notes.... posted by KarenB on January 07, 1999 at 07:18:42:
My son died nine years ago at age 30. I put all of the cards, notes, newspaper clippings in a very special basket. For awhile I had the basket out where I visited often. Now I have it put away on a shelf--but always very close to my heart. Grieving is such an individual thing. The one piece of advice I would give is please don't destroy them and don't feel pressure to do 'just the right thing' at this time. Three losses in a short time is overwhelming.
