I guess this is a good reminder for not leaving stuff for others (especially family) to declutter after us when we are old / disabled / dead.

i think i can safely say that i won't be putting myself or anyone else through that particular scenario.
it all sounded very sad.....and i wonder why this couple has to do it, and why the owner of the stuff is present at all.Posted 6 months ago # -
Me either, bandicoot. I want my sons and grandchildren to remember ME not my stuff.
I've told them to keep what they want and it's okay to get rid of the rest. Hope it's not soon but whenever, I am 95% decluttered.....and it feels good!Posted 6 months ago # -
I have cleaned out apartments after a friend died and after a grandparent died. I remember sorting through the many junk drawers. Paper clips, rubber bands, pen caps, bottle caps, toothpicks, hair bands, paper scraps, tiny pictures of unknown children from 20 years ago, combs, pencils, screw drivers, odd butter knives, ancient recipes, magnets, mystery crumbs,tupperware lids without the container, etc... UGH, I don't want anyone to have to do that for me. My husband thinks I am unsentimental, but someday he or someone else will thank me.
We burnt all my old journals in a campfire last winter. It was FANTASTIC! It was like sending my childhood and adolescence into the heavens and letting it go.
