But the world we live in now is lonely and isolated. And every box I open reminds me of that.

I can sure relate to this.  I've been very isolated most of my adult life, but even more so since 2020. I can relate to the feeling of loss with decluttering. 

As little boxes of items leave the house, I feel a little bit of release from my emotional attachments. It's like all those old sayings of "getting it off my chest" or "Feeling lighter".

This sounds really good. 

As difficult as the past was, this house used to be teaming with life. OUr children lived here, Coco's mom lived here with us for 14 years. There were always extra children sleeping on the floor in the TV room on Saturday mornings with our sons. It's just Coco and me now. And I have to find my peace with all that.

I can relate to this quite well, having grown adult children as well.  It's been very hard for me. 

I hope the race with your grandson went well.
