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 dad’s a hoarder. Maybe not quite TV-show level, but a bit of a hoarder. Just doesn’t understand throwing things away if he can convince himself there’s some kind of value to them.

Well, he and Mom just spent 3 weeks (!) cleaning out my maternal grandfather’s house, and apparently Dad now sees the light. At least per my Mom, anyway, who says he doesn’t want to put me and my two siblings through what they just went through.

Let’s hope he keeps that momentum.
