Find Care & Housing
I attack getting rid of things immediately so that I can move forward with my life. Avoidance really doesn't accomplish anything, and having their stuff around only makes is worse for you.

Seems that you are stuck, might be time for you get some grief counseling.

We are born to die, each day we are one step closer. While here, it is up to us to treat each day as a gift. The past is gone, the future unknown, today is to be embraced.

Going through their things really is a part of the process. If that's too difficult for you at this point, I recommend a grief counsellor or support group. When my Dad passed, I remember feeling really numb while going through all his things, but one things that helped was donating his clothing to a men's shelter. I did keep some shirts that I may sew up into a memory quilt or pillows at some point, but that's all. We donated his books, set aside stuff for all the grandkids, and chose some cherished items to keep for ourselves.
