It was the title that drew me into this one. Trying to settle my parents' estate has been emotionally challenging, but also mentally and physically a lot of work. This book was comforting in a way that helped me feel like I wasn't alone in this situation, that so many people are trying to deal with "stuff" and the emotional attachments and memories that are a part of them. There were some good ideas for organizing important documents, creating a legacy list, and where to sell/donate items but mostly it was confirming that "things" are not the people we loved, and it is ok to let them go because our love will never let go. I'm more determined to declutter and downsize so my own kids won't need to labor over a lifetime accumulation of stuff. This was a good motivator.
