When you set a date and your siblings are gonna meet to move and clean out the house, show up. There is just no way not to have feelings about the one who stayed home. So if you're healthy, be there. No excuses. Be there.
Work on the job that you are good at. I guess that means that my oldest sister is good at walking around bossing us around but not actually working. Still better than not showing up.
Don't become emotionally involved with the stuff. It's just stuff.
It was hard not to bring this home, but I haven't seen it in 50 years so I'll probably be okay.
Be prepared to find anything and then laugh when you find a 20 year old six-pack.
And be prepared to cry when your mothers neighbors come by to tell her goodbye. They have been such a blessing to each other. There are good people everywhere.
And when you finish cleaning out 50 years of memories and stuff and junk know that everyone has to go through this process.
Better days will come
