Imagine this: your loved ones are grieving, heartbroken, and lost - then they walk into your home and realize they now have to go through everything. Every drawer. Every box. Every paper you meant to organize but didn't get a chance to.
This is the unseen burden so many families face after death. And it's why Swedish Death Cleaning isn't morbid - it's a profound act of love.
When you take time now to sort, decide, and simplify your belongings, you remove an enormous emotional burden from your family's future.
They won't be left guessing what mattered to you
They won't argue over who should keep what
They won't be trapped in decision paralysis when they're already in pain
Death cleaning isn't about throwing everything away. It's about choosing what tells your story. It's about keeping what matters most - and letting the rest go, so your family doesn't have to.
It's not always easy.
You'll uncover emotions you didn't expect
You may cry. You may laugh.
But you'll create peace for yourself - and your loved ones
You deserve to leave behind love, not overwhelm. Through guided, heart-centered death cleaning, I help you make those choices with grace and support - on your timeline, in your way.
