Hi,

Just want to say thank you for the advice you have given to julihannah. I lost my mother a few years ago, however, hubby was diagnosed with stage 4 carcinoid tumor cancer. We need to declutter and scale down as we going to move in with the son. What a nightmare. My hubby is a hoarder we never throw anything away (in case we need it tomorrow). He love antique shops, and charity shops and was forever buying small things. Now to depart to sell is just hard. I will definitely start sorting with the papers and buy a shedder.
We both had to do a mindset to let go. Not easy but we getting there.

I'm so sorry about your husband. I have a fear of cancer with mine too because he's had non Hodgkins lymphoma and skin cancer and both were caught early and he's fine, but now that we're older..... I am scared to lose him.
He too is a bit of a hoarder. We live in the house his family built in 1889 and it has NINE outbuildings full of "stuff". And the house isn't at hoarder yet cause I won't let that happen but it is full enough. I feel for my poor kids who will have to deal with it one day. I know if husband goes first I will, or should deal with it. But I may not be able to physically. So overwhelming and right now I go much more to deal with!
