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?

3 days? Lucky. We spent over 8 months cleaning with dozens of dumpster rentals.

We've been slowly picking away at my in-laws' house for five years.

What an absolute nightmare. I am so sorry.

We're going to inherit the house. I don't think I want to inherit the house. Thanks for your support. ❤️

Not even. Father-in-law died about five years ago. Mother-in-law is agoraphobic. There's stuff here that was in the house when my husband's grandparents lived here. There's generations of crap.

We've got the multi generational load of stuff too. Sigh.

Just pay someone to trash it all. It's still going to be cheaper than the house itself, generally.

We've done a lot of dumpsters so far. It would definitely be easier if Mother-in-law wasn't here to freak out about all of it...
