Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I have a menu from a famous local restaurant that closed years ago. A 50 year old Jewish bible, Family pictures from the early 1900's. And a figurine from Holland. Don't really want to sell it myself.
You can list the items on Craigslist or eBay. Bibles are holy books and have to be disposed of in a special manner---with a ritual burial or cremation to show respect. A person can also be buried with a bible. Or donate it to a religious organization. They often need extra Bibles to distribute to students or to keep in the classroom. Don't your relatives want any of the photographs? I love retro photographs---the clothes, the events, etc. They are historical in nature, even if you don't know all of the people and if you ever decide to trace your family roots one day they could come in handy. People do collect them, so eBay is a good place for them. and for any collectables. I caution people not to throw out things so quickly. What is "junk" to some might have meaning or value to others--even if its only sentimental value.
I also agree with Ashlynne's caution against opening any aspect of your house or your mother's house to strangers. My cousin had an estate sale in my aunt's after her death and found that ropes and cordoned off areas don't necessarily mean "keep out". One "shopper" had gone behind the ropes and opened a trunk with personal mementoes, which definitely was not for sale.
I'm also finding that now, with a yard cleanup. It's clear that someone has been snooping inside a shed.
This isn't meant to be crass or raise unpleasant memories, but if any of the photos are from relatives who were unfortunately living in Europe during the Holocaust, one of the Holocaust museums may want them. Same with the Jewish Bible, or perhaps there are some Jewish organizations that collect them.
P.S. I could have advertised what was lovely old furniture and attended at the house when people came but there's a lot of nasty people out there who would prey on you and hurt you or worse if they got into the house. I wouldn't take the chance.
Mid winter, with a broken foot and 100km away from her house, I sent my mother's furniture and collectibles to auction. It fetched very little but I had no choice.
id give you 3.80 just to STHU . nothing personal but thats what i have extra this pay period after bills , expenses , and savings . i know it aint much but on the other hand its the easiest 3 . 80 you ever made .,. just funnin with you as always .. my mothers crap was dumpster filler . 450 king james versions of the bible . you could see the fire from the international space station .. juss sayin , king james has all the credibility of a modern day alabama conservative . BRIMSTONE !! , bla bla , BE LIKE ME !! , bla , with a default of BLAHH !! ..
Hadnuff, any antique stores in your area? Ask the owners if they would be interested in buying said items. Any used book stores nearby who would buy the Bible? Mind you, you probably won't get a lot.
I am still in the process of emptying out my parent's house of 72+ years of "stuff". It's not easy getting rid of things.
No one in the family want the old photos? Or is it a case of "who are these people?" in the pictures? My parents have a lot of photo albums with mystery people.
It does not sound like a lot. You can sell it on ebay. I do not understand why anyone would want somebody else's old family pictures, but I know they sell. You are probably not sitting on a small fortune. If you have a family or even neighborhood teenager get them to do it and split the after expense profit. Else, just donate it a local thrift shop or goodwill.
The items you mentioned are very subjective, so knowing the value is tough. Ebay is a good way to value something - basically what someone else is willing to pay.
