When someone dies

Just as the first snow came along with hard winds, I travelled out to the Stockholm archipelago to empty the summer cottage of a great aunt who passed away this summer. It's both sad and fascinating to go through what's left of a life. We all say that we will leave less behind for our relatives to sort out after us, but I guess that's easier said than done. In the end we become a bunch of garbage bags waiting to be thrown away on the waste dump.
