Favourite stationery – novelty paperclips (I have some smiggle ones shaped like baby feet), coloured bulldog clips, and even coloured staples – given the number we put in docs at work, it’s the only variety we can get! I store the clips in little espresso cups I’ve been given as gifts but have no use for.

Love using them particularly in recipe books and magazines for things I love or want to make.

Hazel’s post above gives some good ideas about how you might be able to use and honour some of your loved ones items once they’re gone. And thanks again to Hellen for the inspiration for this post!

And that purse dispenser is interesting… definitely a fun one for the gals.

My favourite stationery line is the Post it Pop Up – I’m forever looking for post it’s and my pop up dispenser means there is always one ready for me to use.
The latest one from 3M includes a free purse dispenser – doesn’t look too good on my desk though.

Just so long as you let them know that you care -verbally or otherwise. I had a few so called friends who had benefitted greatly from my mother’s support who never said a single word about her death to me, just acted as if that period had never happened. I think that is the worst thing. People need to be able to grieve, feel sorry for themselves, angry, etc and then let go as they can.To be ignored in the way I was means you never fully let go. Thanks for your post. It was really good to have another cry though I know it won’t be my last. Cherrie

They look awesome! I hate paper clips, and prefer to staple (given those two choices). I do use a lot of little binder clips, and prefer the “soft grip” variety.

As for me, I USE and ENJOY my mom’s things –some of them, not all of them — in my daily life. As we discussed offline, here is my blog post on the subject: http://bit.ly/Asr7Zu

You are right that the process cannot be rushed, indeed the process is also very different from person to person. I hope you have good support around you and continue to do so.

Recently I’ve been (unintentionally) tardy with sending sympathy cards, but haven’t worried too much- grief doesn’t have a time limit. I figure it’s ok to to still express sorrow after the initial wave of support.

I agree that sharing experiences is a valuable way to heal, and it warms my heart to see this happening through our online community. Virtual strangers supporting each other. It’s a beautiful thing.
