[quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted about this often here, but just cleared out my parents’ home of 35 years. So, so much goes to the thrift store. Shocking amount went into the trash. My mom was moving to a relatively large 2 BR/2BA cottage/condo in a continuing care community but had to make some tough decisions about what to move out of her huge home. My mom was a lifetime SAHM, a meticulous housekeeper and generally very organized however; it was positively grueling to help manage her move and house sale. She had mobility issues and really hadn’t been taking great care of her house since my dad’s death (mold issues, ant and mice infestation, needed a new roof) and began to hoard. She basically moved everything and then some more. Her apartment is jam-packed. Some items have gone into onsite storage and she is paying for an off site storage unit. Terrible to say, but I’ll end up doing a deep donate/deep clean once she passes away. [/quote]
