A tough time let go

An iMac

— Susanna

This was my sister’s iMac (old skool I know). It was given to me by my mother, 10 years after she passed away. It doesn’t function properly, can’t update itself or even connect to WiFi anymore, but I’ve managed to get into it and transfer all her pictures and videos! It’s now waiting in my hallway to be sent to a confidential waste management company (eventually) (soon) (honest).

Don’t lock things away or hide them, share them.

Questions to sit with

What happened to you around this object?

What does keeping it protect you from — or connect you to?

If you let it go, what would you lose? What might you gain?

Whose memory is this, really?

These prompts follow Ian Porter's approach — compassionate curiosity, asking “what happened to you?” rather than “what's wrong with you?”.
