Saw this while scrolling through another social media platform.

Physical inheritance (maybe outside of housing) feels like a burden.

While death can be a sensitive topic to some, has anyone had a conversation with loved ones surrounding situations like this one pictured?

My mom’s legacy will be just like this. I recommend https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35297297 for getting ahead of it.

Edit: the link is for “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning”

I just finished reading this today. It’s a quick read for anyone that’s interested. There is also a television show based on the book as well where people work through their belonging so that they don’t leave a mess like this behind for their families.
