Dear Amy: My circle of friends has shrunk to almost nothing. I seem to be stuck in grief and can’t move forward.
Dear Amy: I am a single gay man in my early 60s. I am having a real problem getting beyond grief.
I can’t just throw perfectly good things away, but the job of going through everything intimidates me. You are insightful to realize that your household paralysis is linked to your grief. The clutter in your home is a physical manifestation of how powerless you feel.

This is an empowering form of self-care.
