NA SUÉCIA, existe uma antiga tradição chamada döstädning – dö significa "morte", städning, "limpeza". O sentido é bastante literal: limpar, remover, se desfazer ou desapegar de objetos que, mesmo adorados, com a nossa morte vão se transformar em um fardo para amigos e entes queridos. Essa tarefa de eliminar pertences em vida – descrita como revigorante pelos escandinavos e como inusitada por pessoas de outras culturas – pode ser realizada a qualquer momento, em qualquer idade, porém sempre o mais cedo possível, antes que outros tenham que fazer isso por nós.
