Death Is a Sad Thing. When it does happen, people tend to do things to deal with their grief in productive and not-so-productive ways. They may cry a lot, go to counseling, keep themselves busy, go through the Five Stages of Grief, or even use food and/or drink to deal with the pain. Sometimes, they may keep the loved one's bedroom the exact same way as they left it or clean it up a bit to look pristine, especially in the case of a child's death. Other times, they may hang out in the bedroom to feel their presence or just shut down the bedroom and forbid other family members from entering the room out of their grief or in fear of someone else "desecrating" it. Keep in mind that although death is the most common example of this trope, other factors may also come into play, including a missing loved one or a child or other loved one who went off to school or into the military (or less commonly, to prison or some other similar environment). It may be used to provide a Tear Jerker moment. If it's used in a maladaptive fashion, then it could come off as Excessive Mourning, a Stalker Shrine, or Wangst. See also Empty Chair Memorial, Shrine to the Fallen, Empty Nest and Empathy Doll Shot. Compare/contrast with Bad Bedroom, Bad Life. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

This has often been seen in episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but in one case, Dr. Huang points out that the room has been updated to be age-appropriate, rather than frozen in time like most missing children's are, indicating that the mother sincerely believes that her child is still alive and that she'll find her eventually. | |

Bleak Expectations: Played for very dark humour when the second series states that Pip Bin kept the room of his first wife, Flora Diesearly, exactly as it was the day she died... to the extent that Flora's corpse hasn't even been moved from the bed she died in (and by inference, neither has the body of her governess, who died in the room as well). | |

Arrow. When Oliver Queen comes back from the dead after five years Lost at Sea, his mother says his room is exactly as he left it as she never had the heart to change it (of course, the Queens live in a mansion so there's no shortage of rooms). Oliver however has changed himself, and she later finds him sleeping on the floor as he's no longer comfortable in the bed. | |

An episode of Dr. Phil had a grieving mother mourn for her thirteen-year-old daughter, who was killed in a car crash several years earlier. Unfortunately, her grief was so profound, that she not only would obsessively hang out in her room while barring other family members from entering but she also tried to blame her husband and the girl's stepfather for her death simply for taking the family on a drive that day. | |

The Simpsons: In "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily", where the Simpson children were sent to live with the Flanderses, Homer and Marge walk through the house sadly looking in on their deserted bedrooms, with Homer eventually going into Lisa's bedroom and playing with her "saxo-mo-phone". Downplayed in "Bart on the Road". With Bart on the road with Milhouse, Martin, and Nelson, and Homer and Lisa having a sleepover at the Nuclear Power Plant, Marge only has Maggie keeping her company, shown by her walking past Bart and Lisa's empty bedrooms. Downplayed with Ned Flanders. After Maude's untimely death, he kept the imprint of her silhouette in their bed, even obsessively spraying it with starch to remain fresh. By the end of "I'm Goin' To Praiseland", he lets it go as a symbol to move on with his life. |

In The Girl In Twilight, this turns out to be the true circumstances for Asuka's brother's room. She was keeping it the exact same way it was when he mysteriously disappeared, half because she doesn't want to think about the possibility of anything worse happening to him and half because she wants it to be nice when he returns home. Once she finally absorbs that he's never coming home and allows herself to properly grieve for him, she finally cleans out the room. | |

In the first book of Lockwood & Co., The Screaming Staircase, when Lucy Carlyle joins Lockwood & Co. and their headquarters at 35 Portland Row, she is warned by Anthony Lockwood against going into a certain forbidden room. Towards the beginning of the third book, The Hollow Boy this is revealed to have been the room of his sister, Jessica Lockwood, who was killed by a ghost from a pot that had been stored in the room, one of many such relics collected by his parents. With his parents dead as well, he has kept his sister's room preserved in the state it was in when she died, with her death-glow over the bed. In the final novel, The Empty Grave, he finally opens up to the others and begins investigating the various items stored in there so that they can make use of them. At the end of the novel, a spirit-gate is set up in the room for the group to escape to the Other Side in the wake of a ferocious attack by their enemies. In the aftermath, the death-glow fades and Lockwood decides to finally move forward and convert the room into a guest bedroom, showing that he has moved on from his sister's death. | |

Two versions of Little Women use this trope after Beth dies: In the 1978 TV version, Marmee finds Jo crying in Beth's empty bedroom. She asks if it would make her feel better to shut the room up, but Jo declines. In Little Women (1994), the housekeeper Hannah scatters flower petals throughout Beth's empty bedroom: on her beloved piano, on the bed, and over her collection of dolls, which ends with Hannah sadly grasping the hand of Beth's favorite doll Joanna. |

Yellowjackets is about a group of teenage girl soccer players surviving the aftermath of a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness and the lives of those few who survived the full 19 months in the wilderness 25 years later. Team captain Jackie Taylor is not among these survivors. In "Saints," Jackie's best friend Shauna and her husband Jeff visit the Taylor family home for an annual birthday brunch that the Taylors hold in honor of Jackie's memory. At one point, Shauna visits Jackie's bedroom and a flashback shows both of them together in the bedroom as teens, the room looking exactly as it does in the present. | |

Stranger Things: Although Eleven is not dead at the beginning of series two, Mike keeps her Blanket Fort in the basement exactly as she left it because it is never too late to hope for her return. Terry Ives also left the room intact that she created for Jane/Eleven. There's a heartwarming scene in Season 2 where Eleven comes to visit the place that was meant to be the center of her childhood. |

Doctor Who: The Classic Series plays with this. In the Fifth Doctor story "Terminus", it is revealed that Adric's room on the TARDIS has been untouched since his death at the end of "Earthshock", indicating that the Doctor has been unable to bring himself to jettison the room or at least put it to another use. However, when Tegan is asked to find sleeping quarters for new companion Vislor Turlough, she shows him to Adric's old room, suggesting that she is trying to remove painful reminders of Adric from the TARDIS. | |

The Grand Finale of Still Standing has Bill and Judy preparing for their oldest son Brian to leave for college. They admit to not feeling all that sad about it and are actually looking forward to converting his bedroom into a space for them to use. But then, after they finish emptying the room by moving his dresser, they discover that the wall behind it has a crayon drawing of the family Brian made when he was a little boy. Judy breaks down as the reality of Brian going hits her, and Bill (himself holding back Manly Tears) holds her as she cries in his arms. | |

Despite never knowing them, the sense of mortality shakes Miku to her core. Once the rest of the team find her and help her calm down, they make a point of cleaning the room and replacing the long-wilted flowers, knowing full well that if they don't acknowledge the anonymous fallen Parasites, nobody will. | |
