How to Handle Inherited Things You Don’t Really Want (7 photos)

This reminded me of past clients who insisted that we work around a big, bulky piece of furniture they didn’t especially like or use, but felt obligated to keep because it was a gift from a loved one.

My father-in-law is fond of pointing out that when a funeral procession goes by, you never see a moving truck or armored car full of cash as part of the procession. In other words, you can’t take this stuff with you when you go. So I say that instead of putting emotional energy into things, why not redirect it and instead cherish our thoughts and memories of those we’ve lost?
