How can I make use of weak references in javascript?

I have some very large objects that are used intensively, but occasionally in my Node.JS program. Loading these objects are expensive. In total they occupy more memory than I have in the system.

Is there any way to create a "weak reference" in Javascript, so that the garbage collector will remove my objects when memory is low, and then I can check whether the object is and reload it again if it was garbage collected since my last access?
