What remains in the inheritance?

For his life, a person literally overgrown with things. He has a house in which there are furniture, some relics, books, albums with photos. He has clothes and shoes - both old and newly bought. There is a favorite microwave and a legacy from my grandmother's locker, a beautiful vase and a self-made rug. What to do with all this?

Actually, all items left after the deceased can be classified:

• clothing and footwear;
• furniture;
• bedding;
• decoration;
• items that a person carries with him;
• household appliances;
• things made by yourself;
• pictures.

With each category of items individually, you have to decide what to do with the things of the deceased person.

What to do with the clothes of a deceased person?

In the closet of any person after his death, a whole wardrobe is sure to be found, even if it seemed that during his lifetime he constantly walked in the same wardrobe. Can I wear these things? Relatives, probably, it will be hard. But in the old days clothes were worn for many generations, elegant dresses were passed from grandmother to granddaughter, so nothing particularly to leave some beautiful things, no.

However, it's certainly better to get rid of something immediately. From underwear and clothes, in which a person died or died. They say that things accumulate in themselves the energy inherent in a person during life. What happens at the time of death, no one yet really knows, so it's hard to say which slave and unknown forces are acting. Therefore, it is better not to take risks.

Important! If a person died after a serious illness and you were given clothes in the hospital, you just need to burn things.

Some religions prescribe to store clothes in which a person died. This was sometimes done in the Soviet era, if relatives got shot through a tunic or a pilot's cap. But in general, this should not be done, these things are better to give to the museum.

What to do with the rest of the clothes?

With things that were not worn on the deceased at the time of death, you can act in three ways:

• folded into the remote corner of the cabinet and left for a while;
• throw away;
• to distribute to those who need it.

What can I leave?

Save for descendants you can things smart or made by yourself. For example, if a grandmother embroidered a luxurious blouse - why give it away? But you should not wear it at once. Let her lie in a chest for several years or even decades. Your granddaughter will someday gladly get it.

Over time, negative energy disappears, but for people who did not personally know the deceased, his things will not be reminded of anything. For your grandchildren, old exclusive skirts and shirts will become real relics, they will consider quality material and a strange style, admire the skill of the embroiderer. And who knows? Maybe this blouse will be the first exhibit in the new museum.

Important! Old and repeatedly sewn up clothes, certainly, it is better to throw out. And, without any rituals - to put it in a package and just take it out to the trash. It is possible and burn, if there are appropriate conditions. In the house all this can not be left.

You can give out good clothes. In the world there will always be people who, wearing a jacket or a warm sweater that has accidentally got them, will remember with a kind word those who all this once wore, and those who decided to share with the needy. But the clothes should be:

• integer;
• clean.

Where can I put the clothes and shoes of the deceased? There are many such organizations. The most old-fashioned things are more desirable than others:

• church;
• shelter or heating point for the homeless.

In addition, you can choose good things and put, for example, on a bench in a nearby yard or in the entrance of a neighboring house.

Important! Do not lay out things of the deceased in your yard and especially in your stairway - they are unlikely to be taken by anybody, because the neighbors probably saw these things on your relative.

What to do with furniture after the deceased?

Once figured out what to do with the clothes of the deceased, it's time to move on to the rest of the inheritance. The main piece of furniture, about which the relatives of the deceased have to rack his brains, is what he slept on, that is, a sofa or a bed. In this case, much depends on how the person died:

• at home on this very bed;
• in the hospital;
• is dead.

Important! Furniture, like other things, absorbs the energy of a person. If the relative was ill for a long time and suffered greatly, the bed should be thrown away. Nowhere to burn? Then just disassemble and take out as large-sized garbage.

And what to do with the sofa of the deceased person, if death is overtaken in the hospital? It all depends on your attitude:

• If a person before this was sick, it makes sense to remove his bed from the apartment, at least for hygienic reasons - the nature of many dangerous diseases has not been completely studied.
• If the relative was healthy, but was killed as a result of a car accident, an accident at work - a sofa or bed of a deceased person can be safely left at home. It all depends on the attitude of the rest of the household. Some people are simply unbearable to look at the empty place where the person they used to sleep was sleeping before. For others - on the contrary, this subject will mean a lot.

Important! By itself, the sofa in the event of the death of its owner somewhere in another place with the moment of death is not connected. If the family does not have a common opinion, it is best to consult the clergyman of the confession to which you belong. Perhaps he will conduct some rituals, so that the memory of a loved one is less painful.

What to do with the bed linen of a deceased person?

This, again, depends on a number of circumstances. The pillows, sheets and duvet covers themselves do not carry any energy, so if they just lay in the closet at the time of death, it is not necessary to throw them out.

Definitely should get rid of the things that were on the bed at the time of the death of its master. And throw out the best everything:

• mattress;
• blanket;
• pillow;
• bed sheets;
• pillowcase;
• Duvet Cover.

If the relative is dead, and the underwear he used, usually lies with the bedding of other family members - of course, there is no need to throw out. It's enough just to remove the sheets and pillowcases and wash, if, of course, you are not afraid that these accessories will remind you of the deceased. You can also do the same with the bed linen of a person who died in a hospital. You probably already washed it all, so it's not necessary to remember exactly which sheets were on the bed when its owner was taken away by an ambulance.

Important! If the deceased used his own individual linen - you can do the same as with clothes. The first step is to disassemble the contents of the cabinet, separating the old clothes from good clothes. Old drop, good - take it to the doss house or the nearest Christian parish, where they will certainly find use.

Other furniture

Do not be upset if for some time after the death of a loved one your favorite chair seems to be empty, and for a long time nobody will dare sit down at the table. It should be so.

The only way out - places that seem empty should be occupied by other people. The sooner it happens, the better.

Important! Furniture, which the deceased loved to enjoy, should "dissolve" among other objects.

Personal things

The personal belongings of the deceased are quite possible and even need to be left. It can be:

• decoration;
• tools;
• awards;
• collection.

Over time, all this will become family relics:

• Awards - always saved. And you can continue to replenish the collection, you and your children. Stamps, badges, cards, calendars, watches - the value of all this in the course of time grows, although, perhaps, now you do not want to think about it. But such things certainly must be left, in extreme cases can be transferred to the museum.
• A casket with grandmother costume jewelry for certain will some day cause great interest in your granddaughter, even if the jewelry itself does not represent any material value.
• And if the deceased loved to wear gold or silver rings and earrings? Especially it is necessary to leave. In the extreme case, if you do not want these things to remind you of a relative, they can be given to the jeweler and altered to other ornaments.
• You can leave and leather purses, handbags, bracelets, other things in good condition. Something can be given to the friends of the deceased - it can very well be that they will be pleased to keep a cigarette case or a vase.
• A separate topic is tools. They can be both a relic and something that has practical significance. This is solved individually - the plane, made by a skilled carpenter-cabinetmaker for himself and ordinary garden scissors - things of different plan. So to them and should be treated, that is, carefully store or work, as your relative worked.

Important! Some rituals are used by some psychics. They have their own ways, they can clean objects from bad energy with fire, smoke, water. Each method is good if it allows family members to calm down and continue to live a normal life.
