Don't do this to your children

That’s a lot of work, and it’s tough on people when they lose someone and start to collect stuff like this.

Just went through this with my grandparents house...although it wasn’t a hoard of stuff it was hard to “give away” stuff. We donated some, and they treated it like trash and it was all good items. I was upset after that and hauled several loads here to my house and it’s now taking up a 2 stall garage. My grandma was moved into an assisted living apartment, my grandpa passed away last May and it’s been tough. Their house has been in the family since the 1940’s and it will be hard to see it go, it sold and we close soon. Was a lot of work to get it empty to be able to sell but will be nice to have it sold and my grandma doesn’t have to worry about money. We plan to have some garage sales this summer to get her some more $ for her stuff instead of donating it all.

Stuff like this isn’t easy, I’m glad your moms belongings meant a lot to her but it’s still tough to deal with it all, I hope it all goes well with clearing the rest.
