The Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. We habitually hoard many things, since birth, some given by parents, some purchased by us, some received as gifts, the momentoes we buy on our travels, to the inheritance that we receive, just reading this long lists is tiring to our mind. The simplest way to live life is to have little as possessions and be free of burdens as we get older. Choosing the right person to receive your belongings is essential for a smooth exit. During the last years of life - never spend thinking “wish I had given away”. Instead think - “I am glad I gave away when I was still able to use them”. Detachment is an essential trait to cultivate as we move towards our old age. From things- wants- relationships and much more.
