No, that wouldn't be right. You would be giving your stuff away! You didn't even know where to start looking, really. This death situation's been a lot to take in, you deserve a break.
You walked into the bedroom, looking at all your things. It's exactly as you remember it being. If it wasn't for your mother's body greeting you when you looked down, you'd almost swear you were still yourself back in your old room. Your mother's body...
As you sat on your old bed, you thought about your mother and the fact that you essentially were her right now. You looked like her, sounded like her, but mentally knew who you really were. Now that you thought about it, you were scared to leave your mother's body. You were able to exist in spirit form before, but you couldn't help but worry that you'd disappear completely if you left her body for too long. There wasn't any way of knowing if there was some kind of time limit to this thing, and not existing was a pretty scary thought, so you figured you'd remain here, for now at least. Almost like being in your mother's loving embrace again, only you were her. Her spirit still existed within you, there was really no way for you two to get closer. That thought kind of comforted you, in a way.
Besides, by being here, you can further help everyone cope and move on. You couldn't expect them to be alright, not for awhile. It's an eventual process and if you can help, you're all for it. Maybe you could even swap between them on occasion, so you're not stealing your mother's life. You definitely wanted some time to experiment with it.
You pick up a picture you had of your old self and your mother. You didn't keep many pictures, but this one was definitely a keeper. You thought about how you never told her how much you loved her, how good of a mom she always was to you. You could feel the tears well up inside your eyes, thinking back on it all...
