After both of my parents died, I went through their cloths, and kept some of them. Some I gave them to my teen boys and girls. My girls were fascinated by some of my Mom's old dresses. We took them to a seamstress and had them fit for the girls, it is hoot.
My boys got coats and jackets that were my dads. It makes me s=mile when I see them wearing them
After my ex left, I asked my daughters if they wanted their Mom's cloths, they said: "no, just donate them," and so it went.
I keep a sweater that belonged to my dad, and an scarf that belong to my Mom, I like to smell them every know and them.
