People's identities become intertwined with the objects they accumulate over their lives, so much so that when they die their family and friends often struggle to discard their belongings.

Relatives feel as though they are throwing away a part of their loved one when they clear out stuff of the deceased.

A psychological concept known as 'endowment effect' kicks in as early as six-years-old and describes the value that people attribute to objects just because they belong to them. 

When a person died, judi slot siera88 their possessions become family heirlooms - and their stuff is believed to carry their 'essence', according to psychologists.

Saved: Objects of the Dead is a book that shows the items that people have kept after their loved ones died and explains why. 




Amongst the objects included in Servon and Delany-Ullman's photographic and poetry book was a scapular belonging to a mother.
