My aunt passed 8 months ago. Her and I just so happen to wear the same size clothing. About 4 weeks ago, my uncle brought over some of my aunt's clothes for me to go through and pick out what I would like to keep. He gave the clothes to us, so I'm not pressed for time to decide because we don't have to return them or anything like that, but my Mom has been rushing me to look through them so she can clear them out of the basement. Thing is, I don't want the clothes. It's not that they're unappealing to me. It's that it would just be too emotionally upsetting to have them. I really don't want them, and I'm firm in my decision. My mom views it as, "perfectly good clothes", and since they're free, she might be a tad bit mad if I didn't accept them. Don't get me wrong, I've very thankful for the offer. But I just don't want to look like a total jerkface to my unlce's family. *Do you think it would be rude of me to refuse the clothing? (link)

I can understand your feelings and it is SO good of you to put your family's feelings first. Pick two or three items that you like, or you liked seeing your aunt in. Then just stash them away... maybe someday you'll want a remembrance of her and you'll still have that favorite sweater.
4/3/06 - glad to know you're feeling better and made a choice that suits you and honors the memory you have of your aunt.

WOW! This was beyond helpful; I really and truly mean that!! Thank you VERY VERY much for supplying your time and effort. The whole "remembrance" line made me cry happy tears, and I asked this question months and months ago. Speaking of which, I'm sorry for the late rating, but perhaps you'd like to know that I chose two items (I believe?) and the rest of the clothing ended up going to victims of the hurricanes in the south. Again, thank you sooo sooo soo much!!!! (: Best answer POSSIBLE!!!!
