my advice after going through this several times is to throw out or give away very little, only get rid of stuff that is worn out or that you do not have a sentimental attachment to. If certain items are in good shape or have certain meaning to you but bothers you to look at, ask a family member to hold on to it for you in case in the future you might want or need it. I have gotten rid of things way to quickly only to regret it later. So clean house of what you want to get rid of but give it to someone that you can count on getting it back from in case you have a change of heart |
