My daughter died 15 years ago. I also lost my only sibling at a fairly young age. My parents and my husband’s have passed also. We are the designated keepers of their items. With the loss of a child, mementos and photos are emotionally and physically painful to go through. So I revisit and revisit. Purge and revisit again as my heart will allow.

We are adding a bedroom in the basement which claimed part of our storage area. I knew it was time to get our stuff organized. My last pile to go through is the sentimental one. Thanks for your great ideas!
P.S. Go Grovers!!

We are in a huge state of flux here. All of our parents have recently passed away, our kids are grown and in the process of setting up their own lives and we are contemplating retirement and possibly moving. I have gone through most everything and donated or thrown things away, but the papers and things I kept for the kids is overwhelming! I tried one day to go through it and quit after about 10 minutes. This article is inspiring me to give it another shot. Your story of your grandmother’s angels has helped me put things into perspective. Thank you for the insight! I hope to be able to give you a progress update later this year! God Bless!!

It can be so tricky to declutter sentimental items! I would just take it one small box or bin at a time. Rather than trying to think of it as one huge project, try to break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks and just try to work on the small amount of items right in front of you without worrying about the rest. If you can tackle small bits and pieces consistently, it will really add up. You can do it!

I did put together boxes for my 2 children when we became empty nester’s.
However, my children tell me that do not want any of our stuff when we die. Even family heirlooms. On the the other hand my daughter wants me to write on the back the story of the item so she will know what to get rid of. They don’t want our house either.
I have ADHD and the thought of decluttering is very overwhelming.

That’s a great idea, Rose! I will look into that. Hope you have a great week!

Hi, Sandy! We do have many free printables. On the post you commented on, there was an offer for a free tidying checklist if you entered your email address. You are correct that the weekend decluttering guide is not free. If you saw that somewhere, can you shoot us an email and let us know? Thanks!

~Abby =)
