I know how you feel, Debbie... Brandt was a very good mechanic and woodworker. I can't bear to move anything yet in the garage, but interestingly enough, HE wants to sell his hot rod 56 Chevy Pickup. I've persuaded him to wait until Spring, just to be sure, and he resignedly agreed.
I think he knows he'll never drive again (now he's got this stroke-related epilepsy,) but I just can't close that door yet. It was too much a part of who he was all these years.
I keep trying to connect who he was then with who he is now. Some things are doable, like cooking and eventually bbq-ing, but the woodworking and restoring classic cars and trucks is probably not going to be a part of his new normal. (I can't even leave out "probably!") We'll get there... it must be part of the whole grieving process.
