I'm 41. My wife died 5/5/2024 (about 9 weeks ago). I'm having a hard time with closing / deleting / disposing things that were my wife's. I had to do that with a lot of accounts immediately after just to make sure the kids keep their cell phones, electricity stays on, internet, etc. But now that the dust has settled and the shock has wore off it feels like a betrayal to do it.

For example, she had a checking account that I was added to. After she passed, the bank opened an checking account for me and been watching for anything going in / out of her account. Nothing has happened on that account since late May. It was difficult moving the money away from her account. It's sitting at $0.00 and feels weird to close it out.

The actually problem I'm here for is I'm going thru her Google photos and there's explicit content from her previous marriage and between us. It's not hardcore stuff. Sexy outfits, props, topless, etc. Definitely NSFW though. Now the kids and her mom are not naive, but still don't want them to see that material. It would be super easy to just share her Google photos with them, but I would need to delete those photos first (or hide which feels super icky).

Not sure what to do at the moment. Not sure why this is a problem. Like, just get rid of them. I don't look at them.

Can anyone relate? Similar or same situations?
