Willow, huge hugs hun. I thinkn for me personally. I would hang on to it, unless I was 100% sure that I truely wanted to get rid of it. You may feel the worse for it once you say goodbye to it. I know it's just a basinet, but I think that it holds alot more to you. It's all of the things that it represents. Am I right ?? So maybe saying goodbye to the basinet is like saying goodbye to your baby ??
I could be completly wrong here so tell me if I am or to shut up.
Perhaps you could just move the basinet out of site. Maybe cover it up and store it in the garage or somewhere else ??
BTW, I love old wicker baskets. I searched high and low to get one for Tehya.
We are moving house at the moment and DH and I just went through the very emotional experience of packing up Harrison's nursery that he never got to see so I know how tough it can be, it feels really final.
But I agree with the ladies, keep it until you are absolutely sure. If it is too hard to see it everyday, do you have a family member or close friend who can store it for you.
If you do decide to give it away I would suggest giving it to a charity. Perhaps a NICU at your local hospital could give it to some parents who have had a really difficult time. Just a thought hun, it may make you feel like you are helping others.
