I Am Flooded With Memories, Memories, Memories

My dad build our house 50 years ago. My mom died here my sister died here and recently my dad has died here. I still live here. Its a big house, things are falling apart. I can't possibly keep up with fixing and taking care of it. I'm already struggling to pay the bills. I am afraid to move, but I think its inevitable. How do I just leave all the objects and memories that have accumulated.? I'm having a really hard time with this.

As a parent, I can say with some confidence that your parents would not want you burdened with a house that drains you dry.

As you prepare to move, take time to fix the memories in your mind. Make a diary and write down the best ones so you can visit them any time you like.

Keep the pieces that mean the most to you and sell the rest, knowing your parents are happy to be the source of that money to get you set up in a new life.

Memories aren't supposed to be chains. They're supposed to be wings.
