I have been thru most of it with my mom. We are trying to make sure our children have it easier, I am constantly getting rid of "stuff " & cleaning [LOL]. We are down sizing & having children take things they want . My Mom 98 yrs is in nursing home now, we are in our late 70's & it was a lesson well learned dealing with it all!
