    Sep 19 2025
    Have you ever wondered how to navigate the overwhelming emotional journey of clearing a childhood home whilst a loved one is still alive? What happens when Swedish death cleaning isn't possible, and you're left to sort through decades of memories and belongings? How can poetry and reflection transform one of life's most challenging decluttering experiences into a healing journey? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/372 In this deeply moving episode, Ingrid and Lesley explore the profound emotional landscape of decluttering through the eyes of poet Alison Binney. Discover how she transformed the overwhelming task of clearing her father's house into a collection of beautiful, reflective poetry that captures both the pain and beauty of letting go. Alison shares her authentic experience of emptying her childhood home whilst her father lived in care with dementia. This wasn't the planned, systematic approach of Swedish death cleaning, but rather an emotionally charged journey through decades of accumulated belongings and memories.
