In his essential book, *#BeingMortal*, #AtulGawande describes how end-of-life care that centers a dying person's priorities can make death a dignified and even satisfying process for the patient and their loved ones:

But that dignity comes from a patient-centered approach, not a profit-centered one.

This article on #cleaning out a #parent's home reminds me of Atwul Gowande's excellent book #BeingMortal.
Most of us don't plan for our own #decrepitude, waiting instead for a critical incident to render us incapable of living in our own home.
After my #dad died, I had to clear out three decade's of junk including piles of newspapers with a combined height of 25 feet, six broken coffee makers and a tailor's dummy.
Anyone else find weird stuff in a parent's gaffe?
