On Death Cleaning.



For me number 8 would be the perfect banana how about you?

Here is an interesting article on 'Death Cleaning'. It means decluttering before you go. Some see it as a responsibility, not leaving the burden of your possessions behind for others to clean up.  I asked my daughter to consider getting me 'The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning' by Margareta Magnusson as described in the article.

I'd take anywhere between 6 and 9. Good article. I know I have to get started on decluttering, didn't know there was a name for it though.

Thanks for sharing. The article is a must read.
I'm just writing a post close to this topic.

I think I would choose 10, but I'm not supposed to eat bananas, although I love them! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

No. 6 banana is perfect.
As for death cleaning, I have already begun the process though I am not terminally ill.

Great article on death cleaning. My mom started doing that about 5 years before she died. I was so grateful.

7 to 9 would be okay for me. I would prefer to declutter and clear up before I die!

Number 7 for. And I'd also consider 6 and 8. Decluttering is something I've been doing my whole life, but as I get older, it becomes even more necessary. I'd hate to leave behind a mess for my kids to clean up.

If I had to choose it would be 8 or 9.

I think de-cluttering at any time of life is good, and it would certainly help our loved ones after our death.

All the best Jan

I am partial to 6 or 7. Funny how bananas are so specific for different people. :)

I have not heard of that kind of decluttering. The article sounds interesting.

probably 5 if I cold still eat bananas (damn allergies)

I think the death cleaning is a good idea. you then know what is going to be done with your stuff and it tends to take a lot of stress off of the family

I think to call ti death cleaning, your kids have to do it!
I'm all for decluttering, though. I was eyeing my CD collection! sigh. I'm just too tired and not feeling 100%!
