[b[b]]In contrast to the above, my own father has been preparing for years. His affairs are perfectly in order. He has things boxed and labeled. He has been slowly donating things out of old bedrooms and closets. He has made it very clear he doesn’t want to burden us.[/b] [/quote]

God bless your father! I am going to try to be like him![/quote][/b]

My mother had been widowed for 17 years when she passed.  She was already downsized and (fortunately) did not have dementia so she had done a good deal of preparation.  Even with all of that, the clear out required multiple trips (D.C. to Florida).  Despite a lot of success in donating, gifting friends/relatives, selling, consigning and having stuff hauled away, I reached a point where I had to give up and go back to real life.  Which meant I hired guys to box up and ship to us way too much.  Still working my way through the stuff (in our basement).  But I am determined that our child (also an only) will have an easier job.  Now if only DH were on board with me....[/quote]
