N1  - Death cleaning is not sad -- Death cleaning is as much (or more!) for you as for the people who come after
N2  - In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called d�ost�adning, d�o meaning "death" and st�adning meaning "cleaning." Margareta instructs readers to embrace minimalism, and suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you'd ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children's art projects).
