my mom is doing this but she's not Swedish. I think after 3/4 of my grandparents passed, she was like "we cannot do this to our kids." she and my dad have both become very anti-stuff and she's told me where to find her passwords. I think it's a sweet and thoughtful thing to do for your loved ones. that being said, she is way too chill about dying (whenever that will be) for me to handle.

That's really great of your parents! I know a lot of people don't like thinking about the end, but it really is a thoughtful way to help your family and show that you care, thinking of what they'll have to deal with after your passing and making it easier for them (especially while you have your mental faculties to do so).

My parents aren't old but the first vacation they took without me, they showed me exactly where all of the passwords and paperwork is kept. I appreciated that they were super organized in that regard.

My mom dropped it casually in conversation the other day and now I know exactly what it means I'm like...you're 70, mom!
Like you, I appreciate the gesture, but she has to have lots of time left on this planet.

yeah every time she brings it up I'm like COOLMOMTHANKSANYWAY...
but I do appreciate it

Yeah my parents feel the same way. Just decluttering. The older you get, the more you realize you only need very little stuff around you

my mom started mass donating things last year and it scared me that she had a health condition or something and wasn't telling us. but i think she was just realizing how much junk she was collecting.

My MIL is not at all close to death (at least I hope not!) but she has two whole houses in other states and a storage unit full of stuff and it is incredibly daunting for me to think about going through once that time comes. The fact that when she retired she bought two houses and still has a storage unit blows my damn mind and I will never, ever do that to my kids.

Whew, our situations are very similar! Except my MIL has 3 storage units, as well as two houses in different states. It blows my mind too. You'd think a second home would make you reconsider needing anything you have in a storage unit.

My MIL is extremely sentimental and keeps every photo, every card, every everything. I have no idea what her plan is for us to do with it all..
