As you can imagine there has been a lot of thinking to do and I must tell you that it creates a lot of stress inside my head.As I was my mom's only child I have to make plans for the future regarding my mom's stuff and what to do with the house etc. etc.
We have emptied the refrigerator and freezers and got rid of the flowers, taken care of valuable stuff and documents of importance and shut down everything except the circulation pump for the heating system.
There is oil in the tank to keep the house warm at a reduced temperature next winter but in the meantime i want to find somebody to buy the house because it is in much need of renovation and I simple cannot afford to do that.
We already have a house of our own and the small summer place so we already have two money-sinks on our hands.

Ah Hans, I feel your sadness still and these two photos have a beautiful and pensive quality to them. It's a hard time for you as you have all the physical reminders of your mother and the arrangements to make to dispose of or sell things that have been dear to you too. My heartfelt best wishes go out to you.
Hans, I remember having to do these things in my parents house, Dad went first and then Mom. We tried to hold onto their house,but in the end had to sell. It was an incredibly difficult thing to do, go through their life in their house and figure what to do with what.
My heart goes out to you in this hard time. xo
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Hans.
You live in a beautiful place - on more than one plane.
I hope you may find solace in that, too.
xx
