I have participated in the process of sorting through and disposing of a lifetime of accumulated stuff and it is laborious and time-consuming. It took one solid week with five of us, the junk and charity dealers, and an industrial-sized dumpster to clean out my beloved aunt’s house. We also had to find homes for many animals ( that part was joyful -finding new loving homes).

My husband’s parents' cleanup required seven (7) dumpsters and weeks and weeks of work before the house was ready to sell. Everyone was exhausted.

It is not an easy-peasy job as my brother (Anthony Lawrence) commented.
