My 5 y.o. son died in 2020. My good friend kept telling me, \u201cYou need to move on,\u201d and eventually, I coped. 2 months later, she moved to another state for a new job, it was very sudden. One day, I decided to make a surprise visit. When she saw me, she turned pale. I went in and I almost fainted when I saw my son\u2019s photos covering all her walls. Some of them, I couldn\u2019t even recall sharing with her. Then, to my shock, I found some of his clothes on her sofa, alongside a box containing his shoes and socks. The whole scene felt disturbingly eerie.<\/p>\n
When I asked how she had gotten there, she told me that my husband had given them to her. It\u2019s true my husband and I had decided to pack away my son\u2019s belongings as part of moving forward, but I never imagined he had given them to her. I started shaking.<\/p>\n
