[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you care?

I’m helping my cousins deal with their mother’s house. My aunt’s passing was very sad, but what’s even sadder is how much work my cousins have to do—amid their grief and all the legal ramifications—to deal with the stuff, stuff, stuff, STUFF.

Do older adults ever even consider how much stuff their adult kids/families will have to deal with? Do you care? Do you get that your family will have to deal with your STUFF after your death, or when you transition to assisted living or a nursing home, *while they are also dealing with their own homes, families, jobs, etc.?*[/quote]

JFC, tell them to take what they want and get an estate sale company. [/quote]
DP. Not sure it’s relevant to op but my hoarder mother hid all the sentimental stuff as well as cash throughout the hoard. It was a nightmare. [/quote]

I found nine hundred dollars under a mattress, checks that had never been cashed and my dad’s ration booklets from World War Two when he was a child. His old report cards from elementary school. Not ours. His own. It was truly bizarre. I think our generation has always had the internet so we are less likely to have a room full of paper. We scan stuff in and that’s that. [/quote]

That is what was precious to him. Does  no part of you see this as your last opportunity to know the man who helped shape you?[/quote]

dp Yes!  jimagine that having his old report card when it should have been all about the pp.  I wonder if they kept some of their old report cards?  I hope not![/quote]
