Clearing out the house

[RitaM]

This is one element of ctb that I'm struggling with. The thought of who will go through my house, my things, and clear them out. What will become of all my stuff? I have no family, just friends. I find the thought heartbreaking and it's one of the few things that's holding me back. Struggling today.

I know the feeling. Do you think it would help if you adressed them with instructions in your note? (if you are writing one) It might make you feel a bit better

It sounds ridiculous but I have a little soft toy animal and use him as a comforter (I'm a grown woman). The thought of him going in the bin makes me cry. I know a friend would probably take him but it still upsets me. I can't seem to stop crying this morning.

I have my snoopy from when I was a kid, I will ask for him to go in my coffin so he's with me.

When my brother died he had thousands of pounds worth of rare Adidas that he collected. My sister just gave them away! I said she should have sold them and given her daughter the money but she couldn't be arsed.

I am slowly going through my home and whilst I live with my *family* there is lots of things I own that mean nothing to them, so I am slowly selling stuff, or donating things. Thing's that have meaning, I am have written a list of what's to happen to it, ie sold/kept/handed down.
I too have the most precious teddy that I have had since I was tiny, I want that to go to my grave with me! I want one comfort on the other side for sure!!

I've opted for a natural burial so sadly, I can't take him with me :(
