Hello. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. My parents have passed away, and I am trying to empty the home to sell it. It's quite a large task, as my father was a "saver." My problem is, I find myself stumbling upon things that are triggering my emotions... happy memories from childhood, and sentimental items that belonged to my parents. Even things that have my parents handwriting on them have become precious to me now. So needless to say, things are going very slowly. Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? Help!!!

Hello Rachel

That happens to everybody.

Sorry for your loss, how long has it been?

You will find that you will experience every single emotion there is as you go through the home.

Clearing out a loved one's home is one of the hardest tasks there is.

Hope you have people there with you to help you.
Not just with the physical work but all the emotional stuff too.

Good luck and best wishes (((HUGS)))
