[QUOTE="DDD, post: 483546, member: 35"] Truthfully I suggest that you donate everything you have to a major charity and make it easy on yourself. Goodwill, Salvation Army and Habitat For Humanity all accept bulk donations and then go thru the items to see what they can sell and what they can pass on to others. You have had so much stress for so long that one clean sweep (and subsequent ones if necessary) will ease your mind and allow you to move on. Each of the ideas presented are great but more complicated and time consuming. Make yourself the priority and know that you are helping others at the same time. by the way, I kinda have been there done that when my Dad passed away. He had some very expensive jackets, for example, and I had a hard time just giving them away. I know it sounds silly but I actually had dreams about seedy vagrants wearing his clothes and especially his gorgeous hats. Finally I accepted the fact that I had to let it all go to one place. Once a little time passed I felt better knowing that the charitable organization was reputable and would benefit. I think there is a closure issue that creeps into the decision making process. Hugs.
