It’s been a challenge

However, one task on my bucket list is finally coming to a close.

It has been a very long and difficult journey for myself, but I hired a company to come in and declutter my home and garage and also deep clean afterwards. Let me explain how we got here.

My husband’s parents both died within two years of each other and his brother died soon after that. We inherited everything. A few years later my mother and grandmothers died. My sisters took a few things they wanted, but left me with the rest. My husband and I were still in our twenties, we didn’t know what to do and we had a hard time letting goof our loved ones.

So here we are in the present, and we still had most of their things. No room for what we like, or enjoy.

I was able to let go with their help so much junk, and focus on what really makes me happy. The great thing about this is that it also helped my marriage. My husband doesn’t feel this huge pressure of how to handle and deal with all the stuff! So now when he comes home he’s happy, he’s able to relax and just enjoy being. I’m able to keep up with the cleaning now and it just feels so much happier overall.

Heres the thing though, now I’m seeing more things I need to get rid of!

My house is tiny 900sqft. We moved from a 1500sqft house to here.

Wall to wall furniture is not pretty even if it is antique.

So the garage is the last to go but I imagine most will.

This has been the best money spent on ourselves in a while.

If you have the same kind of problems we have had letting go of things, please

understand that things are meaningless. Loved ones and the time you have together now, that’s what’s important because we aren’t guaranteed anything in this life except death. Cherish those precious moments together.
