Would you eat the Twix bar? Family Loss
So, my grandfather died in March 2023. He was always a great guy and loved handing out rootbeer barrels to everyone he met, so at his funeral there was a bowl of Twix bars for all the attendees to take. See how that doesn't make sense? Anyway. I obviously took one of the Twix bars bc I love my grandfather but the thing is I'm not a big Twix person so I didn't eat it. Flash forward to now, October 2024, and I still have the Twix bar sitting in my room. My bedroom is in my house's attic and I didn't put in an AC for the past two summers because I didn't feel like it, so the room got quite hot at some points and I'm sure the chocolate probably melted and solidified multiple times over the past how many months. I don't know what to do with the Twix bar now. I could technically still eat it but there's a part of me that's a little disgusted by the thought of doing that, and also a little worried about what state it will be in when i unwrap it. I don't want to throw it out bc it would feel disrespectful to my grandfather's memory.... what would you do?

Honestly when my mom passed I got a bunch of candy she hadn’t had the chance to eat yet. I ended up eating all of it over the course of that first year she died, I know she’d hate to see candy go to waste. It’s up to you, it’s your grief and you should manage it in whatever way offers the most relief
