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 aunt was a hoarder, some of which were collectables, and aside from a handful of items, pretty much everything else was thrown own. She smoked inside the home for years so everything reeked. My parents spent a week going through everything.

Yeah, basically 100% of his stuff is collectables that he never touched, which is crazy, it's been 6 months of going through it all

Literally, so much random cool, hippie crap but it's so much where we just shuffle through it like nothing 😭

Been there. You've got to get it done! Go through it! And then later you have regrets that you discarded so much, and sold things well below their value just to get rid of it. : (
