Months before she passed, my wife realized she might not survive her newest illness. Not wanting to burden me with disposing of the many things in our house, she found out about Casual Uncluttering and engaged Lauren to help. Help is a gross understatement. The two became a close team and confidantes.
After my wife's death, Lauren told me to contact her only when I felt the time was right. (It turned out to be many months.) My wife had made it clear to her that I wasn't a "things" person. What I needed was someone to do it all, and Lauren did. She quickly recognized what I needed to go through and what could be safely removed. She found (by intuition or inspiration?) perfectly fitting recipients for everything from clothes, tools, supplies for office, sewing, art, photography, and medical care to treasures such as her books on gardening and horticulture. It pleases me no end that these things will now benefit others. Lauren's sensitivity, perceptiveness, knowledge and patience were invaluable to both of us at a terribly difficult time in our lives.

Note from Lauren: The bins and office items from Don's wife were organized and donated to Homeward Pet in Woodinville. Best kind of "before" and "after."
