At SANKOTSUYAMA, we offer support for pre-death sorting. Pre-death sorting involves sorting out your belongings and possessions while you're still healthy, preparing for the end of your life as part of your end-of-life planning. This reduces the burden on your surviving family and allows you to plan your inheritance and end-of-life in a way that reflects your wishes. While "post-death sorting" is done after death, pre-death sorting and post-death sorting are distinct in nature. The timing of each process differs, but they offer different advantages and disadvantages. First, pre-death sorting smoothly reflects the individual's wishes. Regardless of the item's price, the sorting is centered around the individual's values, making it easier to organize and allow for end-of-life planning that allows for emotional reconciliation and the release of emotional attachments. Post-death sorting often fails to reflect the individual's wishes, which can lead to inheritance disputes, especially with expensive items. It's generally easier to sell unwanted precious metals and luxury items and turn them into cash. Small details known only to the individual can sometimes lead to unexpected problems. By noticing these things and writing them down in a notebook while you are "organizing your belongings while you're still alive and well," you can prepare for the unexpected. Since "organizing your belongings while you're still alive and well" can sometimes lead to problems, it's recommended to do so while you're still healthy and get rid of some of your unnecessary items. By decluttering your home while you're still alive and well, you can declutter your room and improve the flow of energy. This also has a positive effect on your mental health, so it's entirely possible that organizing your home while you're still alive and well may make you feel more energetic than ever. Perhaps the greatest benefit of tidying up your home is its increased safety, as fewer items are stored in it. This makes it easier to secure evacuation routes in the event of an emergency such as an earthquake or natural disaster, reducing the risk of death. You'll be able to quickly find what you need in an emergency, reducing unnecessary stress. First, look around your room and categorize it into three categories: "necessary," "unnecessary," and "unsure." Proceed with disposing of the "unnecessary." For the "unsure" items, take some time to further categorize them into "necessary" and "unnecessary." By doing this, you will make steady progress in decluttering. As you have fewer possessions, cleaning becomes easier and your living environment improves. At Scattered Bone Mountain, we offer a variety of pre-death organization support services to suit your individual circumstances. We can take our time and provide careful support, or we can focus on the process as quickly as possible. We will support you in decluttering while respecting your wishes, so please feel free to contact us. |
