As you declutter your house, you are going to run into items that hold sentimental value. And items with sentimental value are hard to get rid of. 'I cant get rid of that!' You might find yourself thinking this when faced with sentimental keepsakes. If you really look close, some stuff that you initially felt sentimental toward isn't really worth keeping after all. But in some cases, sentimental possessions absolutely can and should be kept. Maybe you have a shirt that used to be your deceased grandfather's, and there's no way on earth you could ever get rid of it.
