2. Personal Mirrors

Mirrors have long been associated with symbolism and mystery. In many cultures, they are seen as objects that “hold” more than reflections. A mirror that belonged to someone who has died may carry emotional associations that feel heavy or unsettling.
Particularly if it was kept in a bedroom or bathroom, some people report feelings of unease when continuing to use it.

What can you do instead?

If you feel uncomfortable, cover the mirror for a few days before deciding whether to discard it or pass it on outside the family. Trust your emotional response—if it doesn’t feel peaceful, it may not belong in your space.
