I appreciate your kind words. Indeed, I was just very fortunate to give my "last respects' to the person directly while they were still alive, rather than in a eulogy while weeping over their grave.
I just happen to be a highly intuitive person-lucky gift I was born with and serves me well in my relationships and career. I'm also glad I tuned in at the right time.
Mind your this gift of intuition is also a double-edge sword, I can sense bad things about to happen and it usually turns out to be right (though not always which is a blessing in a way).
Thanks for your advice-I think those who had suggested to delete the emails were well-intentioned but perhaps this is how they would try to cope with the loss of a loved-one.
I value everyone's opinion here and it helped me to weigh it out better and to your credit (and those who shared your perspective), I have also felt it's best to hold onto the emails for now, until one day I am ready to let them go (if ever).
Just to clarify though, I wasn't referring to the other commentors here who suggested you delete them, I was talking about people who you might be romantically involved with in the future. They might not understand and be angry if they knew you kept letters from a former lover (deceased or not); some people are jealous of past relationships and refuse to tolerate any reminders of their partner's past experiences.
No problem, even if you were referring to others, I know you meant well and that's all that counts. Also I do like strong, even contentious opinions because they help you look at things from a different perspective sometimes.
But I agree with you, I'd probably just keep this to myself anyways unless I was planning to get married-then I might share that information with the future spouse.
IIN to keep someone's letters/emails after they have passed away?

Glad to hear it. :)
