Bereavement and belongings

The specific weight of items belonging to someone who has died. Releasing them can feel like losing the person again — and that grief is real, not a malfunction.

Many people experience their most intense object-attachment after a loss. The objects become the person. Sorting them isn't a chore; it's grief work, and it can take years.

There is no schedule the app expects you to keep with these items. Pace can be set to Gentle. The connected-people feature lets you ask siblings or family if they'd like an item before it moves on. Memory keeper is designed exactly for this. The story stays.
