The death of a loved one is very difficult in itself. However, there are still many issues surrounding this event that rest on the shoulders of loved ones. The obvious thing is to inform the family, organize a funeral and deal with official matters. But as it turns out, even after all this, there is something that seems simple but is not when we are superstitious.
There are many superstitions about death and burial. Some people believe, for example, that a candle should not be lit during a funeral or in the first 40 days after the event. According to the beliefs of many people, this is to prevent the soul of the deceased from leaving the earth and joining God. We wrote about the Church’s opinion on this matter in the article below:
Can you throw away the deceased’s belongings?
It turns out that there is also a superstition about cleaning up after a deceased person. When we die, we leave behind various objects and clothes. According to some people, you should not throw away the deceased’s belongings within 6 weeks of his/her death. Otherwise, we will make it difficult for their souls to get to heaven, because they may come back for these things. What does the Church say about this? The priest Sebastian Picur, who is popular on TikTok, was asked about this.
Please do not believe in such superstitions. If the family wants, they can leave mementos of the deceased. If he sees the need to clean up, he can do it without any worries.
Throwing away the deceased’s belongings. “I won’t be able to go in and clean up yet.”
There were many responses in the comments consistent with what the priest said. Many people did not rely on superstitions. Instead, they took into account other, more important issues. First of all, compliance with your own conscience and readiness.
I disposed of my deceased husband’s clothes after 6 months. Not because it’s superstition, but because I was already ready.
My grandmother has been gone for 3 years. I haven’t touched anything at her house yet. I feel like I won’t be able to go in and clean up yet…
Some people cannot part with the belongings of a person who has passed away. On the contrary, I had to get rid of everything as quickly as possible to move on
– we read in the comments.
