It’s an ongoing process. I divide my house into 12 parts. Then tackle one area per month. The following year, I start at room 1 again. You’d be surprised how much accumulates AND how much you’re willing to part with once you realize you really haven’t touched those items all year long… gets easier and easier every year.

4:49 Mia coming for her husband's game hoarding like she doesn't have a whole storage unit just for home decor stuff had me laughing so hard 🤣

Told my Mom about this a few years ago when we started looking at retirement apartments…. She took it to heart. 80 yrs old at the time, with bad knees, and she declutter Ed a 900sqft house on her own in less than a year. Then started trying to declutter my 1200 sqft house….LOL. Finally got her to stop decluttering (throwing out hubby’s stuff) by asking her to teach my some traditional recipes from her region of Italy.
But she kept her house decluttered for the last 6 years and the move to the apartment took a single weekend with just my Prius and hubby’s pick up truck. Three trips and done.

I am swedish and learnt about death cleaning when I started going to a knitting café filled with older ladies. They talked about it often. They wanted to make sure that they didn't leave too much so that their children would be tempted to get rid of it all, they kept the good stuff so that their children could keep it.

I'm 60 yrs old & a crafting hoarder. My friends & family have been telling me I need to do this & I really want to, but...... realistically I know I'm going to end up in a corner curled into the fetal position crying my eyes out. Watching how you handled this gives me hope. If you can be this brave, then maybe I can to. Plus, nobody told me I could take my time. Everyone made it sounds like I should be able to do my whole house in 2 weeks & start a new life! Not with my back problems, sister. Thank you for sharing your journey! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I really appreciate you putting yourself out there. On social media, you usually see people's curated and clean spaces and it makes you feel like such a cluttered slob. Thanks for letting us know we aren't alone in the struggle to keep things tidy. This is just what lived in homes look like. Here's to learning how to let things go even though they would be perfect for that specific scenario that'll never happen. 🥂

I had to clean out my mother's hoard when she went into a long-term care facility and had to sell her home. I had to do it again when she left the care facility and moved in with me. I had to do it again when she passed away. I swore I would not put my daughter through that because it definitely was not fun. Every January I start going through my house decluttering and organizing, room by room. I know I have all year, so I can take my time. By the end of the year I have been through the whole house, and then I start again. Every year I am able to get rid of a little more, and it is always a reminder to not bring more stuff into the house.

My grandfather passed away last September, leaving behind WAY more stuff than we thought. It's been a nightmare to try to find the items that are really worth it. And it's been sad to see a lot of it just go to the landfill. That's why I think it's super important to take things like this into consideration.

I started doing the Swedish death cleaning after my husband passed away six months ago. It really made me take a long hard look at all the stuff we have accumulated over our 30 years in this house. I didn't want my kids to have to deal with all of this mess if something were to happen to me too, so it is time to deal with it now.
