Nobody is guilting her into anything. I brought up bereavement/appreciation because it is a valid point. She might not have thought about that in reference to the situation. Mortality doesn't always creep into perspective until you have lost someone very close to you. (And not everyone is a sneering anti-sentimentalist here.)

Jennie can make her own decisions, but she asked our opinion.

It's really very simple: if they mean something to you, or might in the future, keep them. If they don't, don't. If you don't want any more of them, say so.
