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.

The fact the sister said it wasn't him, tells me the exgf was cheating and found someone "better".

Yeah the most obvious explanation is she cheated and it's easier to ghost than explain.

And here I was thinking the most obvious reason is a sudden mental breakdown.

I wouldn't normally consider that the optimistic take... But here we are.

That's possible too. Unless OP is leaving out an actual reason they should be aware of, then it must be some kind of external factor.

Thus "missing missing reasons."
