It’s an awkward situation for sure. I’m trying to imagine what could be done with the room if they cleaned it out. All I can think is that they could never convert it into a room that they would want to spend time in, and the only alternative seems to be storage which almost seems disrespectful to the memory.

Yeah. I mostly just thought this was a sweet memorial. It doesn't necessarily mean they're in denial or anything, they just want to keep a piece of him there like most grieving people do.
