This video talks a bit about Swedish Death Cleaning, something that became popular after Margareta Magnusson wrote the book, "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning." The book talks about what you can do so you can spend the rest of your life with the things you love and what you can do so your loved ones won't end up with the huge burden of having to deal with your things after you are gone.

When you said, "What's ALLOWED in my home," I was really struck. I have been taking my collection of vintage stuff to the Habitat for Humanity thrift shop and feel good about it. Stuff I bought inexpensively back in the '90's. So I guess I "rented" it for a while. Benefits both me and Habitat.

7 y ago i came back to live with my widowed mum in the big home, with my hubby and child. The process to get rid of my father's tools and stuff (metal stuff, car parts and so on) was already ongoing outside the house. But my mum kept lots and lots of old stuff in the house. Her words always was "you can change what you want when i'll be dead'. But i was very overwelmed. now my mom is 87, weelchair and incapable. I decided to not wait any longher. I'm almost 50 now, if i wait i will not have the energy to do the death cleaning! the life was already full. So, deathcleaning it is.

Wish you the best of luck. I think that attitude if very common with parents since it can be difficult to go through your own things. Good for you for tackling it now and not waiting until later. You can both enjoy a peaceful home and she will be able to get around easier in a wheelchair with less stuff in the home. Thanks for sharing.

The house does not look sparse to me. It looks smart and uncluttered. I would feel very comfortable there. I do wonder though about all those canned goods. Is it stock for a food pantry?

Thanks for your positive feedback. I try to keep at least 3 months of food around. It is nice because I can usually pay the price I want and it is there if there weather is bad or I don't want to go to the store. If I want to use my grocery money for sales or something special like a spiral ham or a turkey, I have enough food to get us through the week on hand, so I can do that. It sure was wonderful to have when Covid hit and I didn't have to worry about going to the store and fighting the crowds.
