A charming approach to putting your life in order so your loved ones won't have to. There's a word for it in Swedish: Doestadning, literally, `death cleaning'.
Swedish-born Margareta Magnusson is, in her words, `aged between 80 and 100'. When her husband died, she had to downsize her home. The experience forced her to recognise the power of `death cleaning' and the concerns that must be addressed in order to do it with thought and care. Done well, the approach not only makes things easier for your loved ones later on, it allows you to revisit the lifetime of memories accumulated with your things.
From clothes and books to stuff you just can't get rid of, stuff that only matters to you, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning offers indispensable advice on questions you will inevitably face when sorting through a lifetime of objects: How do you deal with your secrets? Tackle photographs and letters? Avoid heirs fighting over your belongings after you are gone? This charming, practical book based on personal experience and anecdotes will guide you in making the process uplifting rather than overwhelming: it focuses on the importance of living - even through death cleaning.

Margareta Magnusson says she is 'somewhere between 80 and 100 years old'. She was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, on New Year's Eve, and graduated from Beckman's College of Design in Stockholm. After working as a fashion and advertisement designer, she embarked on a career as a painter. Her first solo exhibition was held in Gothenburg in 1979. Later, she exhibited in Stockolm, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and widely around Sweden. She has moved house 17 times within Sweden and abroad, which is why she says, 'I should know what I am talking about when it comes to deciding what to keep and what to throw away'.
