I know how poorly I will handle it when my dad dies. It nearly broke me completely when my mom died.
Possessions aren’t the same as people though. But, it might hurt about the same. I have an emotional attachment to quite a few of my items. I even have an attachment to my box spring.
… Though that could also be due to not wanting to spend extra money to replace it.
Granted, possessions to me could indicate all items that aren’t directly attached to my physical person.
Let’s see.
Without my things, I would fare poorly indeed, but I’m stubborn, so I hopefully would do my best to obtain some form of housing.
I try to keep in mind the words of 1 Timothy 6:7-8, which says, “for we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things.”
Further down in that chapter, it explains how money itself isn’t the root of evil, but the love of it? It leads to lots of bad things.
I’ve had to pare down parts of my life over the last 5 years, and I’m still adjusting.
It’s been rapid in places.
Granted, all of the space is an added bonus to trashing items.
If I ever lose all of my possessions, I’ll try hard to remember this blog post… and that scripture.
… I’ll have a more definitive answer then.
