Dödsstädning

Dödsstädning, or The Swedish death clearing, is a compassionate and practical process that helps you thoughtfully organize and prepare your home and belongings during your lifetime.

 

This ancient Swedish tradition isn't about dwelling on mortality - it's about embracing life with intention, creating peace in your present, and showing deep consideration for those you love.

​

The Swedish Approach:

• Reflective, not rushed - Moving along at your pace, honoring the memories attached to your belongings

• Story-centered - Every item has a history; preserving what matters

• Family-focused - Reducing the emotional and physical burden on those you love

• Life-affirming - This isn't preparation for death; it's preparation for truly living

 

LIfe is a process and so is preparing for death. Dödsstädning is the process of sorting through a lifetime of accumulated possessions with care, respect, and understanding. With inspiration from others, you will find your ways of making meaningful decisions about what truly matters, what should stay, and what can be let go. This work brings clarity to your living space and peace of mind to your future.

 

The process is deeply personal and proceeds at your own pace. You honor your stories, respect your memories, and support you in making choices that reflect your values and wishes. Many find this journey surprisingly liberating - a chance to curate their lives, rediscover forgotten treasures, and live more simply and intentionally.

 

By taking these steps now, you're giving yourself the gift of a more manageable home and giving your loved ones the gift of clarity during what will already be an emotional time. This is an act of compassion for yourself and others.
