Three old rusty cans

We are helping a friend who was widowed 18 months ago.  Her husband left her with a museum as well as sheds and paddocks of old stuff.  Over the past few month a group of friends have been cleaning out and getting rid of the old pieces of machinery and rubbish that has been lying around for years. 
Today our friend was very wobbly seeing a lot of her husbands "precious treasures" being hauled out and going to scrap so we will all pull back for a few weeks until she is ready to start again. Her head knows it needs to happen but her heart is finding it hard to let it go.  She was OK on Sunday when we had a similar clean out but today was too much for her. Maybe it's happening too fast.  Fortunately she has 5 very supportive adult children and lots of friends to help her though it.
We are not doing anything with the museum.  An auctioneer firm with do that job at a later date.
