Understanding the Emotional Journey

The process of going through a family member’s possessions is more than just a physical task; it’s a journey through memories and emotions. It’s important to give yourself and your family time to grieve and to approach the cleanup process when you’re ready.

Start with a Plan

Before diving into the cleanup, create a plan. Decide on what needs to be done and consider the logistics. Will you need to sort items for donation, recycling, or disposal? How much time can you dedicate to the process? Having a clear plan can provide direction and make the task feel more manageable.

Sorting with Care

As you sort through items, you’ll likely come across personal belongings that hold sentimental value. It’s okay to take your time with these items. Create a system for sorting that allows you to categorize items to keep, donate, or remove.
