I'm watching on a daily basis as my wife goes thru the house and things I had in the office are put away,personal items in my garage are being put away,power tools being given away!! I know I don't use them anymore but I almost feel as if I'm already dead

It’s your stuff! You have every right to be asked, before she arbitrarily makes these decisions!

I know it's petty but it makes me feel like I don't belong anymore

Is there a reason your belongings must go now?

We downsized by 50 % when we moved to our retirement home. This included a huge elimination of stuff to be donated, etc.
We need to clear out more!

My husband has been encouraging me to go through my clothes, books, files and items we no longer use or need. I am "decluttering" as best I can, pacing myself.

I am also looking at what our family would not want. This includes extra sets of china, etc. Clearing as much as I can to make it easier for my husband when I am gone.

My husband is also doing this.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I would feel the same as you do. Those items still belong to you, even if you can't use them. My husband tries to make my things easier for me to access. If something of mine that I cannot use were in his way, or something, or if someone needed something that I don't use anymore, he would consult me before doing anything with something that belongs to me.
