@melclarity and @tigerbeth It's a heartbreaking job as well as a physically draining one. I did it for my Mum's house 19 years ago and it took me 10 years before I could go through the boxes that I packed up (photos, documents, etc.). In the end, I had a garage sale then got the Salvos in to take the rest and got a professional cleaner out of the estate to do the house. It was just too much on top of the grief of losing her.
@kmakm I keep thinking the same thing since I went back to work. Just how am I supposed to fit any of this proactive health stuff in? I've tried but the little bit of extra time to do it (when I've found something that a)I can afford and b) that I can get to, just about kills me. And waiting until I get home to do exercise by myself is a joke - as soon as I finish the stuff that has to be done, I'm exhausted on the couch.
You're doing it so hard with the kids. I do hope the family meeting has sorted something out. At the very least, with the older two. Do they have any more influence with your nephew and niece? @zoffiel may have a point with going on strike but I suspect if they're like my lot, that would just mean suspension of reality for the time. But they all need to help run the house so I hope that your husband has gotten through to them. And I do hope your daughter is feeling better.
Take care, my lovely.
