In the second episode of this 3-part series, Skylar dives into the everyday belongings our loved ones leave behind, from clothes hanging in the closet, bedrooms frozen in time, and even the phones that still hold their texts, photos, and memories.
Skylar shares her own story of facing these moments after losing her brother Sam, and explores the mix of emotions they bring - comfort, heartbreak, and the impossible question of what to keep, what to give away, and when to finally take those steps.
Skylar also offers ideas for how others can approach this stage of grief with intention, whether that means creating memory quilts, preserving a room as a sanctuary, or slowly letting go piece by piece.
