I'm now doing a variation/likeness of Swedish death cleaning.
It is not a sad thing and there is a book or books on it.
I'm 61 but have accumulated more than I even imagined bc it was all
piled up.
I think my family, at least middle dd knows that I want my stuff to go to
Hospice. They have helped so many families with loved ones that they
couldn't care for by themselves.
Once you spread your stuff out for going through, that is when you realize
what your family would deal with.
It is no wonder they are tempted to get rid of it the quickest and easiest
way possible. My husband would have no qualms just bagging and trashing
thousands of dollars worth of fabric and notions.
He has told me in a fit of anger due to exhaustion, (he's on oxygen), that he
would like to burn the house down, lol.
I overlooked it bc it was the fatigue etc. talking, but he could have a few sets
of clothes and a toothbrush as long as he had clean underwear and plenty of
food. He'd be set!
Me? not so simple, but I'm getting better all the time .
