We're in the same boat, Sarah. My MIL knows it's coming and alludes to wanting to clean out--but it's different knowing it from actually doing it. Once you've survived/gotten better--you just want to enjoy each moment. And most people do not enjoy getting rid of their stuff.

Thanks for reading and I wish you luck. Hope your parents enjoy as much good health as they can, as well as ends that are not too drawn out and terrible.

That's kind of a weird thing to wish someone but I think you know what I mean.
