Having lost a 95 year old parent 2 years ago, at 77, I'm definately sorting through our home more seriously. My mother, now 97 and still in her home has taken up so much of my time. I've spent 2 years going through that house at her pace. It's all a huge undertaking, but the two homes are better than they were 2 years ago.

Exactly!!! I am 66 married 42 years so I can relate. We have bought sold and built three houses in the last 7 years so now back home and happy but didn’t want to bring all that stuff around with me anymore….gone gone gone like the wind….gave a box to each son (3) and took photos of things I wanted to remember and am much happier….I have always been extremely neat OCD actually but still had too many ironed table cloths, napkins, Christmas decor, clothes, jewelry…..so now I am wearing my studs and got rid of all the other “jewelry”…and am enjoying all of the “good stuff”…..❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Robin!
In 2017 when I started to come across homemaking channels to watch and enjoy here on YT…. I energetically began the process of decluttering my entire home; room by room, section by section. It quickly became the most satisfying activity; and has been so very rewarding both mentally and visually. It has freed my home and my mind of the needless clutter, and created such a calming peace in our lives. I am proud to say that since 2017; my home has remained in this very intentional and organized state, and I continue to revisit my rooms and systems once a year to keep everything this way. Hearing you speak of Swedish Death Cleaning has brought to my attention yet another great reason that this process is so good for the soul, as well as for our homes.
I always enjoy when you do your decluttering videos; we seem to have several items that are so similar in our homes; (being from the same era and wedding years)….certain things that I have noticed you decluttering, has nudged me in the right direction to let go of similar things that I have been hanging on to for far too long in my own home. A little nudge to keep things minimal, intentional, decluttered and organized. Thank you so much for that; and for continuing to be my absolute favorite here on YT my friend! You provide such great motivation in such a calm and heartfelt way, with all that you share!!! Blessings as always…☺️❤️~ Audrey

I have also read this lovely lady’s book and it really got me thinking. Both our parents have passed and so we inherited two houses full of belongings, not too drastic in my mum’s case but it has to be said that my mother in law was a bit of a hoarder!😄 I already had a full house as I am a crafter and sewer and my two mums were too. For a while my sewing room looked like I was setting up shop but after reading this book I got stuck into some serious decluttering. I have two daughters, neither of whom sew or knit so I am not going to leave them with rooms full of things they won’t know what to do with. I will admit though that the kitchen was easier to declutter than the sewing room - I’m a child of the fifties and grew up with a mum who took buttons off of shirts and zippers out of trousers, because we were a make do and mend era. But then watch your videos and try a little harder 👍☺️

Robin, sweet friend, this is a very important subject. So thankful you covered it so well. I have been doing this before I knew it had a name or concept. I started it after the experience I had with my parents home. My sweet mom and dad were Depression era people and they never threw one thing away. Not even a receipt for a paid water bill that was 30 years old. i’m so glad you mentioned the emotional hardship that cleaning your parents things are. Yes it was lots of work. Even the paperwork took me about 15 years to get completely through and shredded. But the pain I have felt and disposing of some of my mothers things that she thought were priceless still hurts to this day. You cannot keep everything. Many things had to go that cut me deep in my heart because I knew she would have been so sad to see them go. I’m trying to spare my children that pain if I can. Yes it will be work when I go because there still is a lot but I continually work on getting rid of things and try not to Display in front Them that these things Mean so much to me and that they are just things And it’s OK for them to dispose of them. One sweet story that I think I might’ve told you before is when the girls were going through my mothers jewelry and dividing up what they wanted they both wanted this centan pin that she wore all the time. Somehow it was decided that Melissa would get the pin. I stayed out of it. The next Christmas came and Melissa wrapped up the pin and gave it to Rebecca. I thought that was so sweet and mother would’ve loved that but then the next Christmas Rebecca wrapped the pin 😂back up and gave it back to Melissa. They have been doing that back-and-forth ever since 2006 when mother passed away. I know this is a long comment but I didn’t want to tell you that that Intense pain I have had for almost 4 weeks with that intercostal muscle that runs between my ribs is now gone. Hallelujah. Love in Christ

I like the idea of dividing the task into three phases: declutterring, cleaning and maintaining. 🙏

I have been thinking a lot lately about legacy and what I really want to spend my money on that will be of lasting value to our children and grandchildren. I have concluded that what really brings joy are experiences rather than things. God bless you and your precious family!

I just heard you say, “If we keep it, we have to use it, ”……..brilliant! My new motto to live by!

I can't begin to tell you how I wish that everyone would come on board with the Swedish Death Cleaning. It is such a help for those we leave behind. A few years ago I went to help a friend declutter her Mother's stuff when she died. It was very stressful on her having to go through the stuff and the papers that she kept could have been dumped ages ago. I think we never consider that our families might not care for our stuff, or have the same sentimental value that we attach to these items. A very good video. I hope you have a great week.

We are in our mid-eighties and I am just starting this. Some areas are way more difficult than others, but I am seeing progress as huge storage areas are getting cleared out and the empty spaces are so calming! As a knitter, sewer and crafter these areas are more difficult, but I am slowly letting things go as I become more honest with myself and KNOW I will never live long enough to use all the yarn and or make all the projects I would like to. SOOO…..onward and forward. Be brave. Be strong. Be persistent…….and you will soon be free of all that flotsam and jetsam of life!

Hi Robin! You covered a delicate but necessary subject with this concept of Swedish Death Cleaning! I haven’t read the book, but I think I should get it to learn and reflect on this subject more deeply. When I first heard about this subject, I didn’t think it was morbid, but rather inspiring and helpful to guide us both in evaluating our current belongings and learning to be more intentional, as you said so eloquently, with our purchases.

I’m 67 now, I didn’t have children, and I want to spare my nieces and nephews the burden of sorting through a pile of “stuff” after I pass. My husband and I moved in a 2-bedroom condo apartment 10 years ago, so we had to declutter a lot before coming here. But more decluttering most certainly remains to be done! Many of the things we have are now old and need to be replaced, especially in the kitchen. I’m currently evaluating what I would want to buy to replace what is no longer in good condition, but in the same time, how to be very intentional and frugal about it! So your video provided much food for thought! Thank you so much! Have a great week! 💚😊💕🙏

My father passed away a little over a year ago, and sorting through and disposing of his possessions was incredibly stressful. He had already pared down his things before he passed away, so the job was not as difficult as it might have been, but deciding what to do with all that he had acquired during his 100 years on top of dealing with grief and the legal and family things that accompany death took its toll, especially on my brother, who was his executor. I'm a minimalist by nature, but I've determined that I need to organize what I own to make things easier on my family when I die. You can't live with nothing, but you can try to keep what you do own to a reasonable minimum and organize things so your family doesn't have to make snap decisions on what to do with all that you leave behind.

My husband and I have started this. I am not much of a cluttered, but I do have an issue with sentimental things. Hello from Paraguay 😊

Hi Robin, I’ve read most of the decluttering books but the Swedish death cleaning was the one that got me motivated to get started. I have a lot of hobbies besides sewing and scrapbooking so over the years I’ve accumulated a lot of stuff and I’m 71 now so its time for some of these things to go. I love it when you do these videos, they are so motivating.🥰

I know this is a decluttering video but ive been looking for clear containers like yours for your makeup for so long! I love that the sides are straight and not curved!

I think some of us find decluttering & organizing so satisfying because of the sense of control it gives our daily lives. The world is so chaotic and ‘messy’ now with all the political nonsense & noise, so staying home & having a good clear out in January and February makes us feel better. I do this every year—forget ‘spring cleaning’. I do my ‘winter clean’ so I can garden & get out more when the weather finally breaks!

Super helpful! And I just love how you explained it all. You have such a beautiful home! I can’t wait to see the outside renovations.

Robin, you did a wonderful presentation of demonstrating from small to large areas of how to declutter via the Death Swedish method. I realized after I retired and down sized that family members didn’t want much if anything we were giving up. This has made me very aware of donating so they will bless others in need. It’s a great feeling as well making our home function so much better. Thank you and God bless you.

This was a great video. I started the process several years ago and found my issue wasn’t necessarily what to get rid of but where to get rid of it. Then I found my community had a Facebook page to post items for free and others could express interest and pick up the items at my front door step. I don’t have to pack anything up and take it anywhere and know that someone who wants it gets it. All communication is through FB and no one comes into your home nor calls you. It is wonderful! I’ve been at this for about 1.5 years and the process is so freeing. And as you mention, it makes me much more mindful of what I’m buying which has become less and less. I’m almost at the end and feel so much lighter. Thank you for posting your process!

Thank you for another great video Robin! It’s the memorabilia that I find the hardest to donate or recycle. I had to clean out my mother’s house after she went into a nursing home and it was brutal. I don’t want to leave that kind of mess for my kids.
