We’ve all been there. Holding onto things that remind us of cherished memories, be it a ticket stub from a first date or a childhood teddy bear. But, as The Onion reports, Simone Irving from St. Louis takes the cake. She shared, “I know it sounds silly, but it’s the last thing I have of him,” when explaining why she’s held onto her late husband’s corpse for over a year.

“Everyone keeps telling me it’s time to move on with my life, but it’s hard. I mean, Geoff’s corpse still smells just like him. Sometimes, after a hard day, I’ll still curl up in bed with it. I know it may not seem healthy, but I just can’t seem to part with it.” In the end, she decided to pack up her deceased husband’s old body in a garbage bag to store in the attic.
