![]() ![]() The thought of coming near the end of your life can be lonely and devastating. Not only is Swedish Death Cleaning an act of care for your loved ones, it can also be quite therapeutic. Magnusson says you’re doing them a favor, that it’s a final act of consideration. Swedish Death Cleaning is pretty much what you’d expect - it’s ridding your home of the items you’ve acquired throughout your life, so your loved ones don’t have to do it for you when you’re gone. If there’s anyone who can reflect on life and tell you what to do with your belongings, it’s her!

He wanted to return the puppies to their mother. ![]() The other children just saw the puppies as items to be used in their constant desperation for resources, but our boy felt drawn to the dogs instead. He was delighted when one day another boy took him to grab some puppies from an empty building- as they were much more likely to get handouts if accompanied by a dog.
