removing a deceased spouse's clothing

I too have (in the last 1 1/2 years) become 'cluttered'. I need space! I love my home, don't want to move, and finally have come out of the fog of my husband dying after only 4 days of Pneumonia. Now, I realize I need to move his clothes out, let someone else enjoy them. BUT he was such a good, loving man I don't want to see them in the gutter on a drunk, and what do I do with his very good, but worn a few times underclothes, satin lounge robes, etc? I have donated a few pairs of his summer shorts to a good friend of his that could use them and the 2 tuxs to a family that have 2 really good teenage boys in drama, but I still have a huge amount of shirts, pants, more worn shorts, underclothes, 10 prs of all same socks (black), etc. I don't want to sell them in a garage sale, but I really do need the money because he was an Art Professor (retired) and had no life ins. and I didn't get any of is retirement. I am a seamstress, 78 years old in pretty good health, and have thought of converting one of his suits to a suit with a skirt for myself. Ladies did that during WW II. I am overwhelmed, begin projects for my art studio, leave them around the house 1/2 done. Any suggestions to help me through this first 'what to do with the clothes' problem would be appreciated. ghostlady
