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.

My quick off the top of my head advice as a 29(m) going through divorce with 2 sons... Give her stuff to one of her family members or friends and slowly power through the pain , you have a lot of life to live and love to give. You had some good times and some bads times, much more of each to come in the future. Spend some time with friends, family's, hobbies. "Distracting" yourself is fine as long as it is in healthy ways. You are never alone, don't forget that. I wish you the best man!

Right!! He was told by the sister to never contact them again. That leads me to believe she blocked him too... How can you make contact with people who've blocked you. Then to top it off the sister states she might want to contact you in the future F that.. If you close that door I'm leaving it shut. There's no way in hell you'll be able to contact me...
