Yes, linking objects are associated with death and remind family members of their deceased loved one. Linking objects are not associated with divorce or the loss of a relationship.

@harriethodgson1 I disagree that linking objects are not associated with divorce or the end of a relationship. The grief of a breakup is not much different for me than the death of a person. With either one I can no longer access the warmth and support of that person or relationship. I have linking "objects" from my divorce that I will never part with, those are my children. Even though the marriage did not work and I have learned my part of why, I forever cherish my children and am grateful for that marriage if for nothing more than giving me these loving souls. I probably have other physical things, but whatever I save is pertinent to something I learned.

@harriethodgson1,
OK! Like I said, I'm learning things from you people. Thanks for the clue.
