My house is full of clutter as a result of caring for my husband who past away last Sept. I understand and empathize with you. Any chance of getting help for your home? Maybe someone to do light housekeeping and some laundry?

If your mom is able to get out, can you bring her to your house as "company" while you do chores?

I am getting close to feeling like I can really start decluttering. I plan to hire someone to clean my main rooms, top to bottom, as a reward when I get them decluttered. I'll do the same when I get the 3 bedrooms decluttered.
