Deciding what to do with photographs and physical reminders of your loved one who died by suicide involves difficult choices about what to display, what to store, what brings comfort versus pain, and how to manage visual reminders throughout your home. Some survivors find looking at photos healing while others find it unbearably painful initially. Questions about whether to keep items visible, create memorial spaces, share photos on social media, or maintain digital archives don’t have universal answers. Making these decisions gradually, allowing your needs to change over time, and trusting your instincts about what serves your healing helps you navigate memory management.
