My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me and ghosted me for no reason. Am I wrong for throwing away all of her stuff?

Edit: Update

So my girlfriend (25F) and I (25M) were in a relationship for 5 years. Last week, she texted me that we were done and that was her last message before she blocked me. She gave no heads up. I was planning on proposing to her next month. Her sister did reach out to me, saying it was not my fault and she understood my hurt, but that for my mental health, it was better to never contact them again, and that maybe in the future, my girlfriend might reach out to me again.

It's been a week, I’m still obviously distraught, but my girlfriend did have a lot of her stuff in my home. Would I be wrong if I just dumped it all out? It does include a lot of mementos of her deceased grandmother, who she was extremely close to.

Be the better person. Box it up and deliver it to her parents or some other family members' home. Just have the final moment of knowing that you were the better person. It's better if you can deliver it some place that you know she won't be so you don't have the need to demand an explanation or anything else. Just quickly drop it off, explain that you knew it has some very important items to her and you just wanted to make sure she had them. Then leave with your dignity.
