The Moth

Whenever a loved one passes away, they leave behind memories: the way they laughed, their famous chocolate chip cookie recipe, the knowledge that you were cared for by someone special.

But they also leave behind objects, and those objects can be deeply meaningful. Today, two stories about the things we leave behind - and who takes care of them when we’re gone. This episode was hosted by Marc Sollinger.

Storytellers:

Kristina Miggiani must decide what to do with her wedding ring after her fiance passes away.

After her father passes away, Lisa Shroyer and her siblings have to clean out the RV he was living in.
