I tried "Swedish Death Cleaning" (and it worked!) - Навчання та стиль
Your mom is a movie star level beautiful and charismatic! And great sense of humour as well, you both have great dynamic together.
I was thinking same thing. A beautiful mum with a sense of humour and willingness to grow. A lovely grandmum, too. :)
Yay well done ladies. I’m nearly 70 and have been doing this for a few years. I no longer save clothes, glassware and dinner services for best, I use them, anything which has not been used in 12 months goes to our local charity shop for someone else to make use of. Xx
Love it! I’m starting at 55. I think it’s easier to be less emotional about it when not immediately faced with a forced/essential move.
your mom is just the best! I can't wait till she has some more decluttering she wants to do lol
Oh my word you ladies are hilarious. I love my socks too. Hiking socks sneaker socks work socks tennis socks boot socks.... 😂
The mom and daughter relationship is what is so wonderful about your videos. I was with my elderly mother (who had very bad eyesight) shopping for a light fixture for her home and I was describing the light fixtures to her and we were both laughing and the store clerk said "you two are adorable together". That was 24 years ago and I still remember that moment. You and your mom are adorable together.
I am Swedish and I helped my grandmother with her “Swedish death cleaning“ 55 years ago when I was 15. Maybe the concept became popular just a few years ago, but this has been a practice of ours for generations. I always enjoy seeing your mom in your videos! Beautiful lady
So fun! I am 66 and although I've never read the book about Death Cleaning, I definitely have it in mind as I de-clutter. My parents did not de-clutter and clearing out their stuff is when my minimalism journey took root! I don't want my kids to have to take that on! Your mama makes me lol!
When I see u & ur sweet mother Declutter... , I remember my decluttering day with my mother... same happy , sweetness in eyes like ur mother... no my mother is 91. & paralysis stroke ..now I kind of try to search my mother ....
now I need to Declutter again ..finding self lonely..
ur videos r soothing as well as emotional too for me
God bless u all
She is hilarious 😂
And I love how women in our mom's age range decorate their houses, it's homey and elegant at the same time and the furniture is the real deal!
I enjoy watching you, and I really enjoy when your mom is on with you. She's such a sweet and funny person. I know you appreciate her!
So much like my daughter and me. Love the laughter. I also try to make her want things I’m throwing out 😂
That quantity certainly gave me hope! My dear mum left little notes that I even find now! 30 years later! I am very slowly doing it!
I’m going to have my mom watch this video. She is 84 and I’ve been bugging her to start decluttering her condominium. I’m the only child and I just can’t go through all of her things. I don’t have good health and I’m already drowning in my own stuff. Maybe this will give her a push although we have been discussing it more lately.
Maybe if you start decluttering your own stuff it will motivate your mom to get to hers, although she may need more help with hers (at her age)
Good luck.
I am 35 yr old single woman and started the Swedish death cleaning in 2022. I was a hoarder ( I used the word collector for myself) I have a lung condition and while I might not die immediately, It is overwhelming to keep track of stuff. I literally want to breathe easy...lots of stuff more to declutter including endless flower pots and dying plants. Just putting it out there, ypu are never too young for the Swedish death clean. Love and power to anyone who needs it out there..
One of the most powerful moving creations I happened upon : a rosary made from a mother's jewelry.
May this inspire descendants of any mother/ father a means to make profound the personal items of beloved.
Im a single mom with a teenager. I live in S. CALif. . Fatal accidents daily. So I started to think if I pass my son and his aunt will be in charge of getting rid of sooo much stuff. So I started to declutter. Now we are living as minimalist. And so happy I also have a bigger savings account.
I hated getting rid of clothes that still had tags on them, and kitchen gadgets that I don't use anymore. Shoes never been worn, but they were on sale. But I did this because I was thinking of my demise, there is no age for death, so folks let's love our loved ones and not leave them another burden during there mourning time.
Yes! I agree so much about this. Also by dealing with all this extra stuff in our lives now it makes daily life much more enjoyable too. I hope you have a good day.
Shannon, I know you aren't commenting or monitoring comments any longer, but I just have to say...I was already smiling throughout this video, but by the end I was laughing so hard my eyes were leaking. You guys are so cute together. Your mom is my kind of goofy and you're my kind of sweet. Thanks again for a great video and for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Your mom has the best sense of humor!!
What a great explanation of the difference between Swedish Death Cleaning and de-cluttering. I've had so much trouble de-cluttering, but if I begin with the Swedish Death Cleaning mindset, I think that will help me over the hurdles! Thank you, and thanks to your Mom!
I want to do this with my mum so bad. She’s a hoarder of keeping so much unreasonable stuff for the sake of it.
She even has books she’s read and kept 20+ years , dvds for my kids that they will never watch. And like 100s of clothes she will never wear.
She’s 62 so it has to be done.
Your mom is a treat lol. She and my mom would get along. My mom told us all to come and get our crap, then she downsized everything else and moved into a tiny one bed one bath. She kep a few decorative items and paintings and her art supplies. She says she's never been happier.
Omg! I just found this show on Peacock, it made me smile and cry. I realize I need to get rid of a lot of junk in my house.
Children and relatives often JUST DON'T WANT THIS STUFF.
I've had great experiences donating through the Mormons. They have resale shops but also seem to be able to move less saleable stuff on to needy people. I am not Mormon myself but I have found this method to be so helpful and satisfying for the last few years.
I could watch you and your mom declutter all day 😀 great job ladies 💕
Your bloopers at the end were hilarious😂
I wish I had a daughter to help me. By the time I was 65, I was already disabled. I would move that time frame for Swedish Death Decluttering back to maybe 60. I am on my own with a 2 story house to declutter and it's barely happening. It is so good to see the two of you, working at this together. One day, Shannon, you won't have to wonder IF(?)
I love Swedish Death Cleaning... I used it last year in lockdown to go through my sentiment stuff again.. I always asked "if I died tomorrow, would I want my family to see/read this?"... My answer to old Diaries and letters was generally "no way".. It helped me decluttering 95% for my sentiment diaries and letters.
Zoom in on the letter in German.. I can translate it for you🤗
I can't wait for your next declutter with mom video; they are the best! The two of you together are so much fun!
I'm 67. I started this process 2 years ago when my mom passed. I knew that I didn't want to leave the burden of my 'stuff' to my only child. I've given so much to family members and found organizations that will give things directly to people who will benefit from them. This week I have been working on the final load that I will take to a resale shop.
I had a tall bookcase that I repainted and have limited myself to only keeping the mementos that are important to me. I also bought a label maker and attached comments to alot of items.
Clearing it out is a wonderful freeing feeling. Wish I had done it YEARS ago.
I wish my in-laws had known about this although I’m sure my mother-in-law would have thought that we’d want all of her things. We inherited so many little figurines and they’ve been in a box since 1999. My husband is a bit of a hoarder and cannot get rid of things for sentimental reasons. I cannot understand that way of thinking anymore especially when things have been in a box for over 20 years and could be there for another 30. Through watching minimalism videos I realize that we still have the memories and don’t need to hold on to every little item that is sentimental. I may keep a few very special items but I can declutter the majority. I’m in the mindset now thinking ahead for my son. I’m sure he won’t need or want my high school yearbooks, etc. I don’t want him to have the same burden that I have.😩
I went thru my mom's highschool yearbook when I was younger, looking at the pictures and telling the stories. I expect she'll have it down to me and it'll be a great way to show my kids how their grandparents generation went to school. You'd be surprised the things of your's that your kids will cherish
This was delightful to watch. I too have 6+ beach towels I never use and dishes from older generations that I've been storing for decades.
Your Mom is back at it! If you ask one person to declutter with wouldn't be her...!! there's always a laugh in there somewhere and that is how the job moves faster.
Way to go on all those things your guys are able to get gone.
Thank you Laura! It's all about having fun when you can. =)
Just revisited this video for motivation. Y’all are so cute! Your mom & I have similar inventories> :).
Thank you so much 🤗
I really enjoyed this video. We've been decluttering and just putting our stuff on the lawn for others to take, and they're usually gone in hours.
How lucky your mom is to have you help her out with this! You're having so much fun, both of you! I'm over here by myself trying to get the same thing done in my dog is so bored with me…
What a sweet and hilarious mama.
Great compare and contrast. I had not thought about what is different with Swedish cleaning. Very thoughtful
Becky here - been decluttering for some time now…if the kids don’t want it, I can’t sell it, it gets donated. Glad seeing my kids get some of the family items from their Grandparents…
I've been decluttering since I was 10 as a reaction to my mother's hoarding. So many of my American friends are afraid of death; I think it's why they think it's sad or morbid.
Wonderful! I started this when I retired. Pictures were hard but my son said pictures I love will not mean the same to family members left behind. So true. I also declutted deordant I had bought when on sale and realized they had outdated. Now I buy small travel size and replace more often. Linens also seem to multiply so I keep ony three sets...one being used, one clean and one for guests. Probably could get rid of towels for guests,
You two are so cute…relieved some of my anxiety about some of the decluttering I need to do after being death cleaned on.
Omg your mom needs her own channel!
I too have a lot of socks but it's really about your life style and work. My feet get cold and have a predisposition for athletes feet so I must change them and I wear them until the end of their life
i love your mom... she has a great sense of humor and charismatic
You guys are so funny together!
The bloopers at the end were so funny!!! You're mom cracks me up!
Your mom is the cutest!! She’s so much fun!!!
My Swedish grandmother has been death cleaning for over a decade now. Probably two decades! I love to hear the stories of the items she gives me. And she is sure to note that if I don’t find use for it, it’s totally fine to pass it along to someone or somewhere else
I just love your Mom's fun loving personality
When removing the red chair from the living room all I could think was how does her mom keep those white carpets so clean! Lol
GMTA... so was I!!! LOL
I did a death clean of my house last year, having time on my hands, during lockdown & it has been really uplifting. Your video today reminded me as to why I did it in the first place (not to burden my children with the job after my time). Your videos are full of good advice & you are a such a great role model to your children. Thank you Shannon. Love from Wales x
Wish my parents had done this.
I love Swedish death cleaning
Love your mom! I would never have gotten thru my 10 closets when downsizing~ She and I would be having too much fun~ But seriously everyone should do the Swedish death cleaning. Give things away now that others want and enjoy what is really special to YOU!
Your mom is the best! I love watching the two of you together. ♥️
I love this style of cleaning!
I just turned 63 this past Oct 30. I started decluttering in 2014 when we were planning on moving house. We ended up not moving - but I had been bitten by the decluttering bug! By the time I was finished, I'm sure the neighbors thought we were moving house lol! Just call me Ruth Less!
Something I discovered - my grown children do not want ANY of my crap....including the boxes of stuff I saved for them from their childhood! Only ONE of my children wanted their 'Baby's 1st Christmas' ornament! I've already gifted my (real) gold jewelry to my girls.
I am so blessed because it was my Dad who suggested that we start going thru things to make the transition easier on us when he passes. We have given many things to charity and lucky to have a recycling center that takes all electronics and cleaning items etc for free. I found some cleaning items that are from at least the 1970's so I wanted them to be disposed of properly.
This is the best and so very encouraging to those of us who need these tips.
Always enjoy your videos adding your mom in is a great bonus. But let's talk about those bloopers.....mom your hilarious and so fun I was cracking up.😆 I too love hanging out with my grown children. You are both so blessed.
I am 51 years old, and my husband passed away back in October at the age of 53, since then I have started Swedish Death Cleaning, I just don't need as much stuff as I did when he was alive. I have not read the book, but I plan too, but I am getting rid of stuff like crazy.
Your mom seems so fun and full of life!
My dad is 80 and he did this last year. I have my mothers (who passed in 2001) vintage ceramic Christmas tree that I have put out and LOVE the last 2 years and a vintage cowboy hat that my dad bought and wore when we lived in Wyoming (that was 42 years ago) when he worked at a Western store. I love both items and they don't take up a lot of room.
That is awesome! Those sound like sentimental items that would I would also keep ❤
Way to go ladies!
Your Mom is fun! 😊
Great video - good information, but the BEST was the outtakes at the end! Your mom is hilarious and it reminded me of the fun, silly times I used to have with my mom. Thank you!!
You and your Mom are so funny together. Her sense of humor is priceless. I just turned 61 and really want to decrease my inventory as Minimal Mom would say. TFS 🤣🤣👍👏🥰
I’m surprised you get so much done ,with all the laughs with your Mom.
Wishing you a bright and happy Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year
Your mom is cute and funny. Nice to see mother and daughter have fun together.
You and your mom are adorable!!
WHAT a hoot! Thanks for these tips. So needed.
Your mum is FAB-U-LOUS! I love her :D
I’ve recently been helping my mum declutter photographs. And as a result, for my Xmas present this year I’ve asked her to put together a small photo album of family photos - but crucially with ANNOTATIONS! So not only “this is Uncle Ron”, but crucially “and he was your maternal Grandad’s eldest brother”. Because otherwise when she eventually goes I won’t know who any of the photos are of. There were a large number of photos we got rid of because my dad and gran are dead and we needed them to tell us who/what the photo was of. Side note: your and your mum are adorable and hilarious! 😂
Always love seeing your mom on the channel!
I think we need to reframe our thinking about the "passing down of items". we can offer items to our family members BUT it has to be okay for them to say No Thank You. This can help stop the "trickle down" into becoming a "flood down" to others. I'm currently working on my mother with this. It can be a difficult process but in the end don't we all want to be happy in our homes?
What a hoot! Love the bloopers!
I loved this…your Mom is awesome. I’m going to ask my daughter to “Swedish death clean” with me. Thanks for posting.😊
I wish my mom was so collaborative. instead every time I ask her to declutter she starts yelling at me... so frustrating
This was a fun watch, especially your bloopers. :D
Bravo and I love your mom's sense of humor!
I really enjoy when you two do these videos together. 😊
Your mom makes me smile!! You both are hysterical!!!
Y'all are so enjoyable to watch!!
I absolutely love watching you and your mom….makes me smile the entire time!
What a great experience for you and your mom to share together ❤️.
Absolutely adore how you and your mom interact!
I rarely comment on videos, but I just gotta say I thoroughly enjoy watching you and your mom. I was literally laughing out loud. Thanks for letting us share in these little highlights of your life. ❤️
Oh what fun! You two are so funny. Keep up the great work. Loved the outtakes! 🤣
Your mom is such a beautiful person! Thank you, this video made me so happy! God bless you, your family and everyone who is reading this comment, amen 🙏🏼❤️
I love when your mom is on with you! I love her fun loving personality!
Your Mum is a hoot 😂😂
I love your mum, she's so fun. Thank you for the bloopers.
Your mom is so funny. I loved the bloopers!
Love the bloopers!

This just made my day-y’all are so fun together! Thank you!
Love it! Especially the very end🤣😂😊
Great video, Shannon! Loved the bloopers at the end. Your mom is a hoot! 😂
You guys make decluttering look so fun!
Excellent comparison! Thank you! Last week of Dec Is my declutter/Swedish death cleaning week. This video is helping me psych myself up for the emotional choices. 💖
Hi Cathy, I hope it's helpful =)
@@shannontorrens1 it already is! I’ve watched it twice to get it in my head! A long time friend is coming to help me. 💖
