  • 679 - Grief and Clutter - A Journey Through Loss and Letting Go
    Jul 22 2025

    Join Kathi as she has a conversation with Lisa Woolery who lost her husband Eric suddenly at age 50. Lisa faced an overwhelming reality: not only was she grieving the love of her life, but she also inherited his extensive collection that filled their 6,700 square foot home. From dozens of guns to barrels of water and MREs, Eric's "beautiful, cluttery" nature had created a different kind of burden for his wife and their two children.

    In this deeply moving episode of Clutter Free Academy, Lisa shares her raw and honest journey of grieving not just her husband, but also dealing with the mountain of possessions he left behind. You'll discover how she navigated the anger, the overwhelm, and ultimately found peace through intentional decluttering.

    Listeners will gain an inside look at someone having to manage a loved one’s clutter after they are gone, learn practical strategies for honoring a loved one's memory without keeping everything, including Lisa's "five box rule" that helped her teenagers choose what mattered most when they downsized. She reveals the difference between sentimental items worth keeping and collections that served their purpose, and how creating a curated space helped her heal and move forward.

    Whether you're dealing with your own loss or simply struggling with a partner's clutter, this episode offers hope, practical wisdom, and permission to choose peace over possessions.
