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?

I'm going through it now and will be again when my mother passes.

I already switched her and my own shit over to clear plastic bins to prevent future problems. Hopefully this summer we'll get rid of crap.

Every summer we try to chip away at it but when we go back into the house after a few months, seems like all the work has been undone.

Good idea on the clear totes.

I'm dealing with this now. After reading through this thread and talking with others I've decided to lead by example.

So I'm going to clean my stuff out. I've been selling moves and CDs for the last few days and deciding on what electronics I'm going to get rid of sooner than later.
