Episode 2586:

Reid Peterson and Belinda Cock explore how sentimental objects, known as "linking objects," can provide comfort and connection after the death of a loved one, but also how they can become burdensome when their emotional weight prevents healing. Through deeply personal stories, they offer insight into how grief manifests in the things we keep, and how letting go can be just as loving as holding on.

Quotes to ponder:

"I remember looking at it when we got it off the trailer and telling myself, 'take care of this beauty. This is what’s left of Warren."

"When you hold a linking object in your hand, you’re reminded of the person that made that object special in the first place."

"Sometimes, linking objects are harmful to the grief process in that they perpetuate emotions that feel more hurtful."
