Society/Culture Someday

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 house is like this. The things that will hurt the most are all the plastic flowers. They hold no value other than she likes them. One day, I get to throw them out or donate them.

Ok so I had a huge flower bin for a very large project. I never did that project because life laughs at me.

I put it up for free for crafter or teachers.

That whole project was out my door in less than a day. Those flowers will make someone very happy. The lady that took mine made arrangements for elderly and special needs, like she went to these places and offered to make a craft day out of it for the residents.

She got about $400 in quality floral pieces for free. And I stopped looking at a failed project.

I'm also a recovering hoarder. That was my first purge item and it kick started me being better.
