Room declutter and organize after loosing a loved one | Messy room transformation 

Ugh I’m working on my garage also! 😣

The hardest part is starting trust me ♥️ you got this

Exposure therapy. Takes courage . Grab one box or pile close the door and GO.

This exactly

Thanks for this video, after losing someone close it’s been hard to get motivated but finally we are getting declutterred & there’s a charity that picks up.

You and me too. 😢

Remember you are not alone! Dealing with depression anxiety and the meds that go with them is a 24/ 7/365 daily occurrence. It's okay to not do anything! I have a mess of paperwork dealing with taxes from when I was living in my car and all I could do was get through the day and earn enough money to keep going. 5 years later the task is still so daunting my anxiety goes so high just approaching the desk with all the stuff I need to go through. Well it's still too much. It's stopping me from doing other things more enjoyable because I feel like I don't deserve to do them when I have this obligation to deal with. We all have our own quirks and we have to find our own way to tweak ourselves into moving forward. Don't get yourself out on what you're not doing, remember it's okay if all you do that day is breathe! They even put it on the T-shirt!😊 Don't give up! Brain chemical imbalance is just a small slice of us it does not define us! Are emotions function on a higher level than others that are considered normal emotionally. I chose to take that information and not blame myself and guilt myself out for the way

I totally understand. It’s so tough when it all piles up and you don’t know where to start. I literally just focused on whatever was in front of me and kept going. Eventually it started clearing out and I got in the grove. I hope you are able to help your mom. She’s so lucky to have you to help!

me too! youve got this❤

All is so sweet. I can't get my children to help me. So when you get done could you pop over to my house. I'll pay you. ❤😊

that's me!!!!❤

@@theyorks Baby Steps. Don't work to exhaustion to sort gather. Use a timer. Work, Rest. Hydrate. Emotionally exhausting to near breakdown to actually dispose of a loved one's items. Small Tasks. One drawer, if not good enough to donate, seal in bag, Labled. All bags in boxes, sealed dated. May be easier to just toss an box later. Donate good things to an actual charity center or homeless shelter. Not a nameless, financially questionable Goodwill for example. See if family member want truly special momentos, but they dont need more clutter themselves! Gather things that might be sold, and if mom needs the money for her possible long-term care, great! Otherwise, when advertising the sale, note proceeds are earmarked for a special charity - to me that means, take the check to the women's shelter, or get their shopping list and buy needs. What does a specific school teacher need? Do what you can to keep an no-kill animal shelter going, reduce euthanizations, foster dogs ~~ Find a "Gramma" in a home that needs a family, and do little things as you can to make her life more meaningful... I, personally, do not put unaccounted for funds in church offering baskets, or donate to mega-charities. Does the Roof need repaired, Fine, designate funds that go to that task, no funny business, its a shame it had to be that way. The nuns have a specific project. Take them shopping for materials. The Senior Center needs safer, more comfortable chairs, Seniors need rides to appointments outside of their 5 mile limit (almost useless to "offer benefit.")

Decluttering and making decisions is certainly like a muscle you strengthen over time! I used to be bad at it and it'd overwhelm me but doing a little bit each day helps so much with confidence and... actually getting it done haha

just think of the mental clarity afterwards 😍

You got this 👏

​@@theyorksit's a slow process. I am getting there but it takes so much time. And you have to work and do normal day to day stuff. Really happy to know I am not the only one going through it. I want to sell stuff and that takes time. 🙏💌

​@@theyorksthank you so much 💓

I’m sorry you have the loss of your parents to process as well as declutter… I lost my mom and kept a lot of items, antiques, paperwork, sentimental things…over time I asked myself what is more important out of 3 items and kept 1, then I have a storage space bc I moved from my apartment with lots of closet space to a room with barely any closet so I’m narrowing down again but I still have things like a biscotti jar or crystal cake stand or a box of my mother’s school memorabilia from 1940’s and I sometimes can’t look at it bc of the memories, so it’s been a process for me since 2014-2015 and I’m only halfway done. I just can’t leave 200 photo albums to my son when I know he’s got his own house/memories he cherishes from my parents that are far more important than these boxes I can’t let go of. I hope you continue to heal and hold onto those memories and special things that bring you joy.❤

That is so difficult. My heart goes out to you!
