Yes, I delete/toss all pics I don't like and only keep the healthy, happy ones I want to remember.

Two years ago I suddenly loss my husband after 50 years of marriage.
For me it was very painful to look at photos or to talk about memories.
A friend also sent me a photo of the two of us at an event…when I saw it I immediately put it back into the box and only took it out after two years.
My friend meant well but I wasn’t ready.
Now I slowly take out a photo here and there, but it still is painful …
They say time heals all wounds but I don’t think one ever gets over losing a spouse.
