An old colleague who I care about but don’t see much, once gave me a sweater she had been having a hard time letting go of because it had belonged to her mother who had passed. She offered it to me because it’s my style. The problem with it, is that it is huge, doesn’t fit super well, and is season specific. I live in a tiny space, and I really want to donate it (or throw it away so she couldn’t possibly see it in a thrift store)…I need someone to tell me it’s okay to not keep it. Is it?

It is okay! Donate it. I felt like this for a long time with clothes of my sister’s who has passed. But the person is not the clothes. And it wasn’t even your mother. Donate it to someone else who can use it rather than letting it just take up space.

Sorry your sister passed. Thank you for giving me your thought with that context 🤍

Give it back to her, may be she can give it to someone else she cares about. She would understand if you explained the same to her, no?
