Long shot, but worth a try.
I read this wonderful article in the Guardian (I think) about 6 or 7 years ago. It was quite black humour, it was about someone clearing out their parent's house after they'd died (can't remember if it was mum or dad).
It was tender and tragic but at the same time funny, and that's basically all I can remember. I've tried finding it so many times since but never have any luck.
If that rings a bell for anyone, please do share any other details I could use to try to unearth it!!
Thank you!!
