I guess many feel they are a memorial to the individual. If the person had been an artist or a writer or a composer, I would prefer the art, the books, or the music as a memorial. The room strikes me as a repository of the person's possessions, but somehow not about that person. <br /><br />Oh well, that's a personal idiosyncrasy and I know many if not most do not think this way--otherwise we wouldn't find so many examples.

Over on Pinterest I sometimes come across an artist's studio left behind and kept just as it was on the artist's last day alive - that sort of thing. I also wonder what will happen to my things when I'm gone. It's like you don't want to let go, you don't want to lose total control but you know you will. Kind of makes possessions seem unimportant, but not. Know what I mean? They will outlast you. No getting around it. <br /><br />Good health and a bad memory.
