@BeAware and do give yourself time to grieve - and at least my personal experience is that it comes in waves - even over a decade later I still find myself missing my dad when something reminds me of him That's normal. And unless you have to deal with something immediately (like stopping services/bills etc) it's ok to do stuff like put photos or whatever in a big box and deal with them later. Take care of yourself most things estate related can wait once you get past the immediate stuff
