try to avoid the storage route
It only prolongs what is a painful process and it can get expensive if you end up keeping stuff there for years.
IMHO the decisions need to be be made sooner rather than later-I also think this is important to help the grieving process
I was able to sell a lot of my moms furniture through craigs list or through a local consignment shop-took awhile but in the end I donated two small pieces away-the rest was sold or put into my home.
of course, I have seven large rubbermaid containers of books, photos, scrapbooks and kitchen stuff in my basement-not sure what I will do with that stuff, but it cant be thrown out-someday I will go through it all with my kids and hopefully it will help them get to know our family a bit better
good luck
you know my grandma died in december 06 and ever since ive been working up the courage ask my da for her mantle clock that i know sits unused on shelf in his living room.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
