Description

A common question I hear from widowed people is about what to do with the pictures. Should they stay up? Should they come down? Is there a “right” time or a “wrong” choice? After loss, even something as simple as a framed photo can feel loaded with meaning—love, memory, respect, and sometimes guilt or worry about what others will think. In this episode, I want to reassure you that there are no rules here. I’ll share my response to a listener who wondered if she was “allowed” to take down her late husband’s pictures, and together we’ll explore practical ways to approach this deeply personal decision with clarity and self-compassion.
