Why Clearing Out My Late Father’s House Was the Hardest Thing I’ve Done

It’s Not Just a House — It’s Everything He Touched

After the funeral, I returned to my father’s landed home in Thomson.The gate creaked like it always had. His shoes were still by the door.And suddenly, it hit me — every object in this house held a piece of him.

Clearing out a landed property sounds like logistics. But it’s not.It’s grief.It’s memories.It’s an emotional war with every cupboard and drawer.

From Memories to Mattresses — When Grief Meets Junk

I knew the fridge didn’t work. The wardrobe was infested. The mattress had to go.But knowing and doing? Two very different things.

Each item wasn’t just furniture — it was “his.”That meant every decision came with guilt:

• “Am I throwing him away?”

• “What if I regret this?”

• “Should I keep the dining table even if it’s broken?”

Why Landed Property Junk Clearance Is So Overwhelming

Landed homes store decades of stuff:

• Old fridges in outdoor sheds

• Mattresses that haven’t been flipped in 10 years

• Antique cabinets too large to move without tools

• Bags of clothes no charity will take

• Garden junk no one noticed until now

With no NEA collection for private property, it falls on the family — often when they’re grieving.
