    WHen my hubby passed I took my time cleaning out. Ask family or neighbors if they want any tools, etc. Make a few pillows with his shirts. I personally saved his favorite pair of shoes. And his boots I put chick'n hens outside. I am glad I saved a few things because it makes me feel his presence.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Mary. Don't rush the process. I'm sure it is very emotional. One room at a time, one item at a time. Keep the items that make you feel joy and try to let go of the stuff that's just taking up space. And try to donate what you can! You can do it.

    So sorry for your loss. Just go slow and start with what you're most motivated to clean up.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. Watch tidying up with Marie Kondo on Netflix. She has great direction.
