Going through the property of a loved one after death!

After someone has passed away you have the “what now” syndrome. There is so much to do and no desire, energy or will to do it. That's ok.

My personal experience is DON'T RUSH IT. If you rush it you may make decisions off the cuff, based on pressure from family or friends, brash without consideration and thought. Thirty days, One Hundred Twenty Days or even a year later you wonder why you did what you did, or made decisions that you made. You want to blame those who rushed you but you don't. You want to scream, yell and kick but you don't. Instead you quietly beat yourself up over those quick decisions that were not well thought through. The best advice I can give you is DON'T RUSH.

Don't worry about what others think or say. If you are not ready to clean out the closets, or go through the boxes in the garage - DON'T, there is no rush. You'll do it when you are ready. When will that happen? When life isn’t pushing or rushing you, when you have a more clear perspective of what to do and how you want to do it, then you’ll know it’s time.

Now the above is all based on the fact the deceased does not have a will. If they do then the executor of the estate will properly handle each item in accordance with the wishes of the deceased.
