When should the deceased’s belongings be distributed before or after 40 days?
It is believed that the belongings of the deceased should be distributed forty days after death.
I didn’t know about this and I don’t even remember how long after I took the things to the monastery. They give it to the poor there. Maybe 40 days have passed, before I hardly had any desire to give anything away. Then it got colder and I decided that the poor would need them.
On the 40th day, a private trial of the soul of a person takes place, which determines its fate until the Last Judgment. At this time, up to 40 days, services are ordered in the church purely for the deceased person, and at this time it would be reasonable to do alms. That is, give out things of a deceased person. I went to church after the death of my husband and found out if they could bring things to the needy for up to 40 days. And they told me this. I took the things to the church, and they were already handing them out to those in need. Well, what if the things of the deceased were not They were distributed before 40 days, there is nothing wrong with that, they can be distributed even after forty days.
Yes, there is no difference before or after 40 days.
Most likely, after the death of a loved one, no one will run to throw out his things, their thoughts are simply occupied with other things. After my father’s death, my mother called some friends who agreed to pick up some clothes, even though they were not poor. I was even surprised, since I wouldn’t wear anything after someone else’s.
A friend of mine tried to fetch her dead mother’s things, and I took it to church without opening the package. It’s another matter if a person needs it, but it’s better to give it when he needs it. Maybe it’s frosty outside, but he doesn’t have boots, I understand that, even though on the third day, give them back if someone asks.
The things of deceased relatives are dear to me, in memory of my grandmother I wear her shawls with pleasure, I like to throw on my father’s warm jacket when I come to visit my mother - these things are family to me, they seem to warm me.
Of course, after the funeral we didn’t go through anything on purpose, then we gave it away and left some things behind. The things of the dead are called pomorka and only very poor people wear them - the energy is bad. That's what my grandmother said.
In fact, there is no time frame here, a person has passed away, buried him and feel free to give away things. Because in another world he doesn’t need them, and his soul will know that his things were useful to someone and turned out to be necessary, and on your part this will also be a step of charity, especially if the things are good.
Not everyone can afford to buy something at this time; there are low-income families in which one bears the child for the other.
Keep in mind that the soul leaves the body and goes to the subtle plane after nine days. Therefore, if you are confused by the deadline for distribution after the funeral, wait nine days. But again, there is no time frame here.
U Orthodox people It is customary to give away things of your deceased relatives.
These can be both your close people and complete strangers who are in dire need of these things.
Relatives, grieving over this loss and wanting to somehow alleviate the posthumous fate of a dear person who has passed on to another world, rush to distribute his clothes, shoes or household items during the first forty days, when the soul goes through ordeals.
This gives them hope that the Lord, at the private trial that will take place over the soul on the fortieth day, will accept this sacrifice, like alms from this person. Because The Holy Gospel says that judgment without mercy is for those who have not shown mercy!
If subsequently you also give away the things of the deceased, then this is also good: and there is nothing reprehensible in this. This is the same alms! You can also give to those asking for alms - money for the remembrance of his soul.
And since the deceased themselves can no longer help themselves, it is our sacred duty to help them with such small sacrifices on our part.
Who would refuse such help to the soul of a person dear to you?
If a person was not only baptized, but also tried to live a church life - he confessed and received the Holy Mysteries of Christ, then we must not forget about his church commemoration: we must try to regularly order memorial services and submit notes about him for the Liturgy.
All this certainly has a beneficial effect on his immortal soul!
I know that after the death you cannot touch or rearrange anything for 40 days after death. Since it is still present in the apartment and things associated with it are best left in place. And after 40 days have passed, you can already distribute it.
The question already contains the answer. After forty days. The funeral was celebrated, and distributed the next day. I adhere to this tradition. Although many give out after nine days. The main thing is that even in Orthodoxy there is no clear interpretation of the date. I myself saw advice to distribute the things of the deceased, both after nine days and after forty. I repeat, the second option suits me better.
But this is not at all an obligation to give things away. They can also be kept as a memory of the deceased person.
Very often different people they ask me questions about how to deal with things , left over from a person after his death. This problem is very, I think, complex; it is solved ambiguously and each time in its own way. But a certain system in how to proceed here is still visible. Before giving some advice regarding things deceased, I’ll tell you about two real situations. One of them happened several years ago, the other is still going on.
First connected with the death of my second cousin. A week later, a neighbor approached her daughter with a request to give her glasses. deceased women . Aunt Vera willingly complied with the request. And after some time, Lyuba, the granddaughter of the deceased, called her (she knew nothing about the situation with the glasses), and said: “I dreamed about my grandmother. She said that she felt good there, but only her eyes could see very poorly.” Aunt Vera later learned that it was impossible to give anything away until the forties.
Second The story concerns my closest friend, who has been keeping all her clothes and other clothes at home for more than 10 years. things his late father. Over the years her personal life literally went awry, health deteriorated, a particularly unpleasant atmosphere and some kind of desolation reigned in the apartment. And I’m almost sure that the surroundings created by the presence of many of my father’s belongings played a significant role in this.
So what should you do: give it away or not? It's no secret that things each person is saturated with his energy. But after death she changes, and not for the better. Therefore many knowledgeable people They say that the things of the dead must be disposed of. Others recall ancient traditions of preserving all the property that was left after the death of a loved one, so that his soul would not be offended by the living for quick oblivion. I think that the truth here, as always, is somewhere in the middle.
After all, we ourselves subconsciously feel thatthing thingsstrife. For example, a fur coat that mostly hung in the closet, and the owner wore it only a few times during her lifetime, is one thing. Heiresses can wear it, there will be no problems. Here's a music box that was loved dead and sounded in his house very often, warmed his heart with melodies in difficult life moments - this is an object filled with soul... What to do with this? Throwing away is not something you can do, but is it good to store it? Is it possible to leave it without a threat to living space and fate?
In each individual case, you probably need to make your own decision,
but there are a few rules that are good to remember.
In any case, nothing should be touched within 3 days after death, but it is better to wait until 40 days to decide “what goes where.” Then you can add up all the memorable things (which you don’t want to get rid of or, as it seems, you can’t) into a box, pack it and put it away. Preferably in the attic. There is no need to leave these items in the house, especially in large quantities. Remember that after their owner leaves for another world, his energy becomes dead and does not bode well, but it is contained in those very favorite objects and will remain in them for a long time.
What he died on and in(bed, sofa, pillows, blankets, bed linen, clothes), it is better to destroy it, because all this has absorbed the energy of death and suffering. Usually all mortal belongings are burned. At least take him to the trash heap.
The rest needs to be sorted out and distribute. But keep in mind that not everyone things You can give it to someone or hide it in the house. There are, for example, special personal objects: diaries and letters, photographs. Burn everything that burns. Those that remain must be thrown away, just right. For example, clothes and shoes can be neatly placed in bags and placed near the trash can. Let those in need take it. There are other options: take it all to a homeless shelter, to a church (they will find someone to give it to). This way you will show respect to to the deceased.
In general, the property left by the deceased preserves his energy code in different ways.
and in connection with this, it unequally affects the heirs and their destinies.
Cloth.
If late loved and very often wore some thing, then it will store his personal energy for quite a long time. This statement is especially true when it comes to lingerie or other wearable options. The same clothes that he used quite rarely, after 40 days are safe from the point of view energy influence. You can even keep it for yourself, so to speak, take it as an inheritance and wear . Maybe the deceased it will even be nice. Just don’t get carried away with quantity and choose mostly lightly worn and outerwear (jackets, coats, etc.).
Decorations.
This is a separate conversation, because few people would agree to throw away a ring, for example, with a diamond or even just a gold one, even if the deceased loved it very much and almost never took it off. Although in this case it would be better to bury the person with this ring, especially if he had it with him at the time of death. After all, such energy is stored for a very long time: tens, or even hundreds of years. This also applies precious stones.
Especiallythem, since stones are considered batteries of all good and bad, any information. It is not for nothing that they occupy such an important place in all magical systems.
Bed sheets,
if it was used by the deceased constantly and individually, it also preserves the memory of him for a long time. This is not at all surprising, because in a dream a person’s mind turns off, but the inner essence, also called the subconscious or spirit, is freed. Therefore, it is not recommended to use underwear, even not very old ones.
Children'sthings
- a special and very painful, delicate topic. When a child dies, the suffering, grief, despair and grief of the poor parents knows no bounds. This must be the worst thing that can ever happen in their lives. Therefore, some families decide to leave the children's room untouched in memory of the baby; they perceive it as a kind of home memorial. This should not be done under any circumstances. After all, the child’s soul will suffer if it is not released and kept in this world. Children's things There is no need to store it for a long time. It is worth leaving only the most beloved items, dear as a memory. It is better to hide them away so that you see them only occasionally.
Give such things Other kids can't either. This is considered a very bad omen. According to legend, they can bring great misfortune to a living child who has become their new owner.
Of course, everyone who has lost a loved one decides for himself what of his property can (or even needs) to be kept for himself, what can be kept by other family members, and what must definitely be gotten rid of - immediately or after the forties. But I hope that my article will help you correct your decisions that you have to make in this sad situation.
After the death of a person, relatives and family mourn and feel sad, and all the little things in the house remind them of the deceased. Many people wonder what to do with all the personal belongings of the deceased after he passes into the “other world.” They are also interested in: “Is it possible to wear things after the deceased?”
Customs of different peoples of the world
There is a huge number of people on the planet, all people belong to different religions and their own beliefs. And everyone approaches death differently. In Western countries, the question about death is posed in this way: that after it, the soul of every person lives, that is, it ends up in two well-known places. It's either Heaven or Hell. Actions are weighed on the scales of “good and evil” and on the basis of this the soul is sent to the right place.
In the East they believe that the hovering soul does not die after death, but continues to travel around the world, and can be reborn into any other living creature. Among them:
- plants;
- People;
- animals.
The direction of the soul, of course, does not end precisely after death; they say that if during life a person has not fully “worked off” his own “debts,” so to speak, then he will definitely be reborn in order to complete everything that he did not have time to do.
Eastern people always cremate the deceased, and some of the peoples belonging to the East burn the body at the stake, after which, along with the body, all its belongings. This raises the question, where to put the personal belongings of the deceased?
What to do with personal belongings
The energy of death is very different from the living bioenergy of a living person. Many people with psychic abilities describe the energy of the dead as cold, viscous, viscous, or one that makes the body shiver. From this we can say that it differs significantly from the energy of living things.
Some believe that after washing the clothes of the deceased, they can be safely worn, dust and dirt can be washed off from the clothes, but all the information and energy of the deceased cannot be erased, and cannot be washed off in any way. This is something to consider before putting on your outfits.
Time is an integral part of human existence. People are born, live their lives and die. This is the constant cycle of existence of all life on earth. But no matter how prepared a person is for death, the passing of someone close is always a tragedy. After carrying out all the rituals of burying the deceased and realizing the loss, the relatives of the deceased do not always know what to do with the things of the deceased person.
Where to locate the deceased's belongings
There are many different opinions about how to dispose of the belongings of a deceased person. In some religions it is customary to burn the clothes of the deceased, in others - to distribute them to the poor. All rules and rituals have been formed over many centuries, slightly modified to suit the times.
Today, various esotericists and psychics have taken an active position in this issue. According to them, the deceased’s belongings carry a charge of negative death energy. It is better for living people not to use the things of the deceased. Believing or not believing these statements is a personal matter for everyone, but it’s still worth listening.
According to Christian beliefs , there are several stages in the ascension of the soul of the deceased to heaven. It is from them that all the rules of the funeral rite come.
What to do with furniture
Wardrobes, beds, sofas and other large pieces of furniture- the biggest problem for relatives. Is it possible to leave a bed or sofa in the house on which the deceased slept, and especially if he died lying on this furniture - not the easiest question for a family. But there is no clear answer to it. Psychics strictly prohibit sleeping on a bed or sofa if someone has died on it. Believers are not so categorical. In their opinion, the main thing is not the thing, but the person. Therefore, it is enough to read a prayer and sprinkle the object with holy water.
Today, not everyone can afford to rid their apartment of pieces of furniture left behind by the deceased. People prefer to invite a priest to their apartment and ask to bless their home after funerals and wakes.
If relatives trust psychics more, you can ask them to clean the entire apartment and furniture with their energy.
Gold and other jewelry
The most questions arise about gold and other expensive jewelry.. It is believed that the precious metal accumulates a person’s energy throughout his life. Precious stones can store negative energy for centuries. There is an opinion that you cannot wear gold after a deceased person. This can lead to negative consequences and even illness.
If you do not delve into the magical component of this issue, but turn to history, then it becomes clear that there is nothing terrible here. From time immemorial, jewelry has been passed down from generation to generation. From mother to daughter, from father to son. Even the crown Russian Empire, decorated with an incredible amount of precious stones, has changed many owners.
But there is one rule that is unspokenly observed by representatives of almost all religious faiths - do not wear jewelry taken from a deceased person, especially if it's pectoral cross or icon. It happens that the deceased did not have time to take off his jewelry during his lifetime. In this case, relatives have two options. Bury the person as is, or remove the decorations. It is better to sell the jewelry removed from the body or take it to a pawnshop, not forgetting to consecrate it in a church or keep it in holy water.
In other cases, jewelry and decorations do not pose a threat to their new owner. If you still have doubts about whether it is possible to wear the gold of a deceased person, then to be sure, it is better to keep the jewelry in holy water for several days.
Who should I give clothes and shoes to?
Very often, relatives feel sorry for simply throwing away the clothes or shoes of the deceased. It happens that the deceased leaves behind good and expensive things. Of course, you shouldn't throw them away or burn them. Today, almost all cities and villages operate collection points for low-income families. You can take your clothes and shoes there or give them to the church. There will always be people at the temple for whom all this can be very useful.
Even if the deceased left very expensive clothes, for example, a fur coat, it is not recommended for blood relatives to wear them. Both psychics and the church are unanimous in this opinion. Psychics claim that clothing will carry the energy of the deceased, so blood relatives will be more vulnerable to the negative energy of the item. According to the church, by giving clothes to people in need, relatives help the soul of the deceased.
Is it possible for his relatives to carry things after a deceased person? The answer to this is unequivocal: it’s not worth it. No matter how expensive the clothes or shoes of the deceased, it is better to give them to charity, and thereby ward off negative energy and help people in need.
Personal belongings of the deceased
Personal belongings of the deceased include all household items. For example, a phone, a watch, a wallet, pillows, blankets, etc. This can also include all kinds of memorabilia - various souvenirs or a set of dishes. Therefore, before you take and sell all this, you should think very carefully. Psychics say: the personal belongings of the deceased carry a very strong energy charge, because they were chosen and acquired with love and strong emotions during the owner’s lifetime.
Under no circumstances should things be taken from the body or from the coffin of the deceased. Today it has become fashionable to cremate the bodies of the deceased and scatter the ashes to the wind. In order for a piece of a beloved relative to remain, many cut off a lock of hair from the deceased. But it is not recommended to store such items at home. It is believed that the soul can become attached to them and not cross the line into another world. And also you cannot keep icons and flowers at home that were in the coffin during the funeral service. Usually they are given to the singers or left in the temple.
Photos and documents of the deceased
Many relatives are interested in what to do with the documents of the deceased. You cannot throw them away even when all the paperwork related to the funeral has been completed. It is impossible to be completely sure that they will no longer be needed, so it is better to save all the documents of the deceased.
Photos of a deceased relative are not only a memory of him, but also a kind of prints life cycle person. After the death of a close relative, it is not necessary to put all the photographs in a box or hang them on the wall. It is better to leave everything as it was during his lifetime. This will help you survive the loss and not forget your loved one.
Where to put things from suicides
At all times, the church had a negative attitude towards people who died of their own free will. There are separate burial rules for suicides:
- they are not buried in church;
- they are not buried in a common cemetery (among some nations);
- their things cannot be given away to people.
From time immemorial, suicide has been one of the most terrible sins. A person must live as many years as God has given him. If he took his own life, it means he committed a mortal sin that cannot be forgiven or corrected. That's why things from suicides aren't given out to people.
Where to put the things of a deceased person - The priest’s answer will be unequivocal: burn it. It doesn’t matter who this person was - husband, father, son, brother or someone else near and dear. The personal belongings of a suicide cannot be kept in the house or given as souvenirs, even if they are useful, necessary and expensive items.
What to do with the belongings and clothes of a deceased person is decided differently in each family. Some listen to the opinions of psychics, others to the church. For every family, the loss of a loved one is a tragedy, and parting with the belongings of the deceased is not so easy. But no matter what happens, you need to remember: death is not the end. It’s not just that they say that a person is alive while the memory of him is alive.
If the deceased's belongings remain
After the death of a person, his loved ones grieve, many of them are burdened by the things of the deceased. Often the deceased leaves behind good things - shoes, clothes and other wardrobe items.
The question arises: What to do with a person’s belongings after his death? Is it possible to wear things after a deceased person?
Death and the energy of death, is it possible to carry things after a deceased person? As for the energy of death, bioenergy throughout the world indicates that the energy of a living person is different from the energy of a dead person.
Many psychics, looking at the things of the dead, touching them, can say with certainty that the former owner of the thing is dead. The energy of death is addictive, it is cold and more viscous than the energy of life - this is what psychics indicate.
It is quite difficult to get rid of it. By washing an item, it is impossible to erase information about the life and death of its owner. Therefore, bioenergetics specialists and psychics do not advise buying used clothes. It can carry information about its deceased owner.
The Christian Church considers all of the above to be superstition. Superstition among Christians is a sin. The church does not give a clear answer to the question posed. Very often you can see how relatives bring things of the deceased to the Temple so that those parishioners who need them can use them. The Holy Father definitely sanctifies these things. But...whether he will finally remove all ties from this clothing or thing is a question.
When asked about the clothes of a deceased person, psychologists answer unanimously: It's not worth wearing. These things, especially if you saw them on the deceased, will always be associated with death and negative emotions. This is not the way to honor the memory of a person who has passed on to another world. His clothes, reminiscent of death, will sow anxiety, sadness and panic in you.
There is another side to the coin. For example, the deceased left behind expensive, high-quality clothing: a fur coat or leather jacket. It’s a pity to throw away such things; it’s also unwise to give them as gifts, since they cost a lot of money.
Psychics' opinion
People with extraordinary abilities do not recommend wearing the clothes of a deceased person. The fact is that in every thing there remains a piece of the energy of the person to whom it belonged. If a person has passed into another world, then this energy is “dead”, negative. And when wearing clothes, it passes to a living person. A person who puts on the clothes of a deceased person unconsciously makes a necro-binding to himself, which is not so easy to cleanse himself from. Then the person begins to notice that he is often sick, feels weak, has no vital energy, wakes up in the morning broken, and feels unwell.
If you still want to use these things and try on the wardrobe of a deceased relative for yourself, then do this after forty days from the moment of his death. It is best to conduct an energy cleansing ritual before this to remove negative energy from the deceased’s belongings.
It goes without saying that underwear cannot be reused. You should definitely get rid of it. Also, do not wear clothes that the person died in. It is better to burn it or dispose of it in another way so that negative energy does not manifest itself. If you were on bad terms with a relative or he didn’t like you, don’t even think about appropriating his clothes. Such a step will definitely not bring you good luck.
Things of deceased people store energy
It is believed that things that the deceased often used during his lifetime store his energy. There are known cases when a wristwatch stops at the moment of a person’s death and breaks down after the funeral. household appliances, wearable items acquire a specific smell that is simply impossible to get rid of. This is due to the fact that necropolis begins to accumulate in the objects of the deceased, that is, the energy of death, which reflects his current state - the death of the physical body.
All the things of the deceased, endowed with deadly energy, cannot cause much harm to people who begin to use them, but they also do not have a positive effect. Simply put, the belongings of a deceased relative do not bring good luck.
You should be especially careful with things made from natural materials - they are best able to absorb the energy of a deceased person.
There is a way that will help neutralize the negative energy of a deceased person remaining on his clothes. Psychics advise soaking the deceased’s clothes in salt water for several hours, and then rinsing them well, drying them and, of course, ironing them thoroughly.
However, this method is not effective in all cases. Sometimes the energy of a deceased relative is so strong that no rituals can remove it.
It is especially terrible to carry the things of a deceased person. And sometimes such things cannot even be cleared of negative energy by any rituals. Especially if the deceased person was attached to things and loved them.
I warn you: it is impossible to clean such things, no matter how hard you try. This is especially true for things that the deceased was in direct contact with at the time of death, that is, a bed, blanket, pillows, bedding, etc.
Information about death is very difficult, and it eats into things very deeply. A thing that has witnessed the death of its owner literally absorbs the very spirit of death, a kind of deadly program. And passes it on to the one who inherits this thing. So this program begins to work in relation to its new owner... Therefore, under no circumstances should you sleep on a bed or sofa on which a person died. And in general, keeping such a thing in an apartment is simply dangerous...
What to do with the belongings of a deceased child?
The death of a child is a terrible thing that you would not wish on any parent. What to do with the baby’s clothes if he left this world untimely? Psychologists say that you should not keep these clothes at home. Every time she will remind of the loss and torment the already wounded hearts of her father and mother.
Extrasensory perception also gives a clear answer to this question: things need to be destroyed. You should not re-gift or give them to other children. After all, kids are even more sensitive to negative energy than adults. Even the slightest negative can affect their health and well-being.
So is it worth the risk and trying on the clothes of a deceased child on your baby?
Often the things of deceased children are left for those who are younger, for the next offspring - this cannot be done! It is better to bury a child’s favorite doll or toy with him, but never give it to another child. Children's energy is much weaker than that of adults; there are often cases when misfortunes happen to children after such gifts. Even if the older child has died, the younger one should not be dressed in the deceased’s clothes.
Is it possible to name a child after a deceased relative?
It is believed that a person’s name has extremely strong energy. It can greatly influence the character and fate of a person. By naming a child in honor of a deceased person, parents doom him to a life and destiny similar to that relative. The baby’s karma will be heavily imprinted by his predecessor, because the trace of his stay in this world remains too obvious while his loved ones remember and mourn him.
However, it is also believed that if a deceased relative lived a happy life, interesting life, then naming the baby after him, the parents deliberately wish him the same fate
So is it possible to wear things after a deceased person?
Today, bioenergetics experts offer hundreds of ways to cleanse things of negative energy, including the energy of death. But you shouldn't trust them all. It is better to free the house from them and at the same time - the memory.
Is it possible to wear the gold of a deceased person?
Often, close relatives, on the eve of their imminent death, give expensive items as gifts, because the same gold jewelry can be worn by daughters and granddaughters, remembering their beloved grandmother or mother.
But the question arises: is it possible to use the personal belongings of the deceased, and how safe is wearing the same chain or beautiful pendant for health and the energy field?
Psychologists' opinion
Gold jewelry is supposed to instill joy, given its aesthetic appearance and boosting a person's self-esteem, but wearing jewelry from a deceased relative can have the opposite effect.
After all, as a rule, only loving relatives leave gold as an inheritance; accordingly, even a brief contact with the thing of a deceased mother or grandmother for a daughter or granddaughter will turn into memories and a surge of pain due to the loss.
That is why psychologists advise not to wear gold jewelry left over from loved ones until painful memories lose their sharpness and the same earrings or chain evoke only pleasant memories of the lives of departed people, and not the bitterness of loss due to their death .
Church opinion
The clergy agree with psychologists and also do not recommend wearing the things of the deceased, since one type of personal belongings of the deceased can lead to despondency, and, as you know, despondency is considered one of the sins. Also, you cannot wear the body cross of a deceased person, regardless of what metal it is made of, because the cross protects only its owner, therefore, after his departure to another world, it is better to bury this particular thing with the deceased or put it in a secluded place.
It is also not recommended to wear gold wedding rings, especially if the couple has been married, again due to the fact that sacred protection was intended only for the married couple, and not for their relatives. Churchmen do not recommend wearing gold jewelry in the form of amulets and amulets, again due to the fact that idolatry and deviation from Orthodoxy are naturally unacceptable for the church.
In other cases, clergy do not impose a ban on wearing gold jewelry, although they admit the possibility of energetic influence. After all, the same relics of saints can heal, and accordingly, the gold of the dead can influence the new owner, especially if the deceased was not distinguished by righteousness.
Psychics' opinion
Psychics also agree with the opinion of clergy. Moreover, they believe that it is undesirable to wear gold jewelry of a deceased relative. After all, any personal item stores the energy of its owner, and gold stores information doubly, given that this material is of natural origin. In addition, gold in many cases is synonymous with greed, which means it can lead to negative consequences.
Gold jewelry is of particular importance if it was worn by its owner at the time of death. Indeed, at the moment the soul leaves the body, a powerful release of energy occurs, which charges everything around with it, and therefore gold. That is, it is no longer possible to wear gold jewelry from a relative, given the close energetic connection between relatives. Although, if the jewelry was donated before death or was not related to the person’s passing, gold can be worn, but only after purification using a certain ritual. Along with the decoration, the one who keeps this thing for himself - the person takes away the karmic debts of the former owner and then he will have to work off the karma.
Naturally, no one will give, much less throw away, expensive jewelry that was left after the death of a relative. However, it should be remembered that gold and silver for a long time capable of storing information and human energy. By the way, this mainly applies to jewelry that the deceased was wearing at the time of his death. If during your lifetime your grandmother gave you a ring that is inherited in your family, then it will not harm you. You can safely wear it without fear of negative consequences.
Is it possible to sleep on the bed or sofa of a deceased relative?
There is an expression: “It is better to sleep on the grave of a dead person than on his bed!” Perhaps there is some truth in this. If a person was sick for a long time, experienced crazy torment on the bed, and eventually died on it, then it is of course better to part with such an inheritance
People related to extrasensory perception argue that it is better to replace the bed of a deceased person. If it is not possible to buy a new bed, but you need to sleep on something, then it is better to perform a ritual of cleansing the deathbed of a loved one. To do this, you can walk around the bed on all sides with a lit candle. But...this is unlikely to help remove all ties from the deceased. These bindings will drain a living person’s energy and vitality.
The psychological side of this issue is also very important. A person who has lost a loved one may not immediately be able to get rid of grief and melancholy. An object associated with this person can often remind you of him and excite sad thoughts in your head
In other words, the choice is yours. If you are able to subjugate your feelings of fear and give up superstitions, then put the bed of your loved one in order and sleep on it to your health!
What to do with photographs of deceased relatives?
This is perhaps the most controversial issue. We have long been accustomed to the fact that in the houses of our grandmothers, great-grandmothers and parents, numerous portraits and general photographs of their ancestors and loved ones hung on the walls. In the old days, this was not considered something dangerous or reprehensible. But today there are a lot of ideas floating around that photographs of the dead carry negative energy and can affect the health and fate of living people.
First of all, let's talk about a portrait of a person who has just died for a funeral procession. It should be a photo that both you and he liked. The portrait can be framed in a mourning photo frame or have a black ribbon placed on it in the lower right corner.
What to do with the portrait later is up to his loved ones to decide.
If after this time the wound of loss is still too fresh, then it is better to remove the photograph until calmer times. If the relatives have already managed to survive their loss and have coped with their nerves, then the portrait can be placed in the living room or another room other than the bedroom.
Photos of deceased relatives in the house - the opinion of the church
The Orthodox Church does not see anything wrong with photographs of deceased relatives being in the home of their relatives. We are all equal before God - both the dead and the living
Therefore, photographs of loved ones, especially loved ones and loving ones, can only bring a bunch of pleasant memories and fill the heart with purity and love.
If the loss is too severe, then at first it is better to remove the photo out of sight. But there is absolutely no need to get rid of it forever. The time will come when the appearance of the deceased begins to blur and gradually disappear from a person’s memory - that’s when his photo will come to the rescue.
It is also better to temporarily hide a photograph of a deceased person with whom there is resentment or misunderstanding. After a certain period, all negative emotions will fade into the background, and then you will be able to see your loved one with a pure heart
What to do with old photographs of deceased relatives?
Of course, they need to be stored. Now, if we imagine that the relatives of great writers or other outstanding people would not keep their photographs, as we would imagine them to be. It’s always interesting to check the portrait drawn in your imagination famous person with the original. So in this situation, our grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other heirs will want to know what their ancestor looked like. Photography will help them with this.
By preserving photographs of our relatives, we preserve a piece of our history, which will be important for our offspring
But the question of whether to expose these photographs to the public and ours, including daily viewing, remains open
Is it possible to hang portraits of deceased relatives on the wall?
The time comes when a person who has lost his loved ones begins to think about whether it is possible to store their lifetime photographs on the walls of his home?
It is very difficult to answer this question, because there are quite a lot of different opinions on this matter.
If we think about how our ancestors lived, then each of us will remember that our grandmothers kept photographs of their deceased parents, grandmothers, aunts, and uncles in their homes, and in the absence of available material, they placed them in ordinary wooden frames under glass and hung them on walls. It’s only worth remembering that most often such photographs could be seen in corridors, halls or in the kitchen. They tried not to place them in bedrooms and children's rooms!
No one is saying that this was right and should be done this way, this is just what our ancestors did, who were no less superstitious than we are. It turns out that they knew in advance that it was possible to do this and it would not lead to any trouble!
Today, many magicians and psychics advise removing photographs of deceased people from places where they will constantly come into view; negative energy emanates from them and this can bring trouble to the house. On the one hand, this opinion is indeed correct. Agree that if a lifetime relationship with the person depicted in the photograph has never developed, then it is not pleasant to look at him every day.
One involuntarily recalls bad episodes that evoke anger, resentment, and sometimes despair, while spoiling a person’s mood for the whole day, and, accordingly, their aura.
If the photo shows a person from whom you received only love and kindness, it is much harder to perceive his appearance every day. In this case, a person may be overcome by mental pain, melancholy, and regret. As you can see, in any case, if you see photographs of deceased relatives around you every day, this will not lead to anything good.
Therefore, it is best not to hang photographs of the dead, even the people dearest to you, on the walls of your home. In addition, there is an opinion that in this way you disturb their peace and attract them into our world, preventing their soul from finding peace.
As many people believe, the dead should be separated from the living, and this also applies to photographs. Of course, it is impossible to separate photos of the dead from photos of the living, especially if they are captured in one photograph, but all photographs should be stored in a special place, in particular in albums that are created for this purpose.
Psychics claim that a photograph of the deceased can become a portal to the other world. By hanging a portrait of the deceased on the wall, we can open the door to the world of the dead. If this door is constantly open, that is, the portrait will always be in sight, living people living in the house can feel the energy of the dead.
Some relatives who have hung photographs of their deceased loved ones on the walls claim that they are constantly tormented by headaches, impotence, and various kinds of diseases. All this may be just a far-fetched theory, but it may also have some truth.
Photographs taken on the day of the funeral have especially strong energy. It’s not clear why people take these kinds of pictures at all. After all, they only bear human sorrow and grief. Such photos are unlikely to bring goodness and positivity into the home. It would be better to get rid of them.
How to store photos of deceased relatives?
It is advisable to separate photographs of the dead from photographs of living people
For photographs of people who have already died, it is better to select a special photo album or photo box.
If there is no separate album, then it is better to place such photos in a black opaque bag or envelope. If the photograph is general and there are also living people in it, then it is better to cut out the deceased from it and store it separately. In order for the photograph to be stored longer, it is better to laminate it
Photos of the deceased can be scanned and stored on a separate medium - disk, flash drive, website
Is it possible to keep the belongings of the deceased at home for relatives?
In the old days, clothes were in short supply, so they tried not to throw them away, but to pass them on from one family member to another; the deceased’s belongings were taken out of the house. Due to the shortage of clothing, especially outer clothing, in the Middle Ages the deceased’s belongings were happily taken by relatives. It seems superstitious, but still. It’s worth thinking carefully about whether you need to repeat the fate of the deceased?
Things of the deceased that cannot be worn by the household themselves and cannot be distributed, can simply be burned. The bed with bedding - on which the deceased lay and slept - should also be thrown away. If among his things there are things close to his heart, then they can be kept somewhere in a secret, remote place and taken out only when you want to remember your relative.
If the thing is directly related to the suffering and death of a sick person, then it is better to get rid of it by burning it. If during his lifetime a person gave instructions to his relatives regarding certain things, then it is best to deal with them in the way the deceased wanted.
When a person dies, the soul leaves his body, after which living, positive energy leaves his things. Soon a dead woman takes her place, negative energy. And such things will not bring anything good to their new owner.
If before death a person suffered from a serious, incurable illness, then this will leave a mark on his energy, part of which will be transferred to his things. When wearing such clothes, we are exposed to the energy of the disease, which increases the risk of developing a similar disease.
If we are talking about books and records of the deceased, they can be stored along with other things in the house. If the family still wants to get rid of them, then it is better to give them from the heart. Such a gift will not carry any negativity.
All letters, diaries and photos that are of no value to you should be set on fire and not dumped in a trash can. Everything else can be safely thrown into the trash.
If the deceased bequeathed something to you during his lifetime (a ring, a watch), he should have removed it and donated it during his lifetime. The same applies to clothes. If he died wearing them, it means he didn’t want to give them.
However, during all the hard times of war, both looters and soldiers of regular units did not think much about whether or not it was possible to remove clothes, shoes or jewelry from corpses. Are your boots or overcoat worn out, but the killed enemy has just the right size? Why not change, he won’t need it anyway. And they took it, and carried it, and returned to their families alive, without being tormented by pangs of conscience. So everything is relative.
Of course, it is possible to store the belongings of a deceased person, but is it necessary?
It is believed that after a person departs for another world, his house, apartment, room needs to be put in complete order. The best option of course there will be new renovation. However, if this is not possible, then it is necessary to remove all the rubbish from the premises, throw away old, outdated things, distribute suitable things to those in need, and do a general cleaning with disinfection
If the thing is as dear as a memory, then it can be hidden away from human eyes. It is best to wrap such a thing in a rag or an opaque bag and put it in the “far corner” for a while. If the deceased had a favorite mirror that he admired, it’s worth burying it, maybe even at the grave. You can't use it. Mirrors that are in the apartment need to be removed and wiped thoroughly.
Is it possible to keep the cross of a deceased relative?
Pectoral cross - powerful source spiritual strength and karma of a person According to Christian customs, it is customary to bury a person along with his cross
If for some reason the pectoral cross did not end up in the coffin with its owner, then it can be stored in the house in a separate box or bag. If the owner of the cross was bad person, died from suicide or violent death, then it is better to say goodbye to such a cross - give it to the church, to the needy, or melt it down for something else.
