I'm sorry for your loss.

I recently read an article about a businesswoman in Nottingham who ran a charity called Stylicious which uses donated clothes to kit unemployed people out for job interviews and work placements. There's a similar charity called Dress for Success which does the same in London, but it's women's clothing only for the moment. Perhaps there's something similar in your area?

The other suggestions about homeless charites are great, but if you've got some formal business wear to give to a good home, this could be a good idea.

Thank you, I've just sent an email to Stylicious to see if they would like Dean's formal clothes.

Not sure there is an easy way to say this so I'll just say it, are you sure you want to get rid of all your husbands clothes so quickly? When my husband died, I was advised by a friend (whose husband had also died) to not rush anything, give it time, you don't want to get rid of something and then a few weeks later regret it. Yes I did give a few things away that meant something to other people (they missed him too) but I've kept everything else, everything is where he left it. I still take comfort when I wear his jumpers/fleeces/jackets (they are far too big for me though ). Her other advice was don't make any major decisions for a year, I think she is right.

Thank you for your reply, I am also sorry for your loss.

I do fully understand what you are saying but I think I'm in a different position so although I will be keeping some items that are important to me. I do not wish to keep it all.

I hope you get through your grief ok.
