I wish I was there to hold your hand and help you. I have been in the same spot, not with my husband, but with my daughter. Her bedroom was left alone for months after she passed away, but finally I forced myself to go in and clean it up. It hurt and I cried the whole time, but I am so glad I did. Now I can go into the room and relax and feel her around me. Don't worry about tears, let them flow, they are actually comforting. Go in, clean it up and then use your sewing room and remember all the wonderful times you used it with your husband. Also we are here to hold your hand through this board. We love you and are sending our warm thoughts your way.
