As parents get older, families often face a difficult question: What do we do with all their stuff?
From furniture and dishes to photographs, decorations and boxes of memories, deciding what to keep can feel overwhelming. The first step is to remember that you don’t have to keep everything to honor your parents.
Start by talking with family members about what has real sentimental or historical value. Give siblings and relatives an opportunity to choose meaningful items. For the things no one wants, consider donating, selling, recycling or responsibly disposing of them. Take photographs of especially meaningful items before letting them go - you can preserve the memory without keeping the physical object.
