Just need to vent. For most people, this is nothing special, of course. Most likely, few will understand. But I need to pour my heart out here, at least. I had a wonderful childhood. I was truly rich, because in addition to my parents, I had grandparents and even great-grandparents who were actively involved in my life and upbringing. Now I only have my parents, and I thank God that I can still see, hear, and hug them. But this post isn't about that. Just to make things clearer. So, when my relatives passed away, their homes were sold. And it warms my heart immensely that people still live in those homes, that those houses still stand – beautiful, well-kept. But one house, where I spent most of my childhood, wasn't like that. It was fading. It got unlucky with new owners. I drove by and saw how it was gradually falling apart. It hurts to see. And yesterday it burned down... And what a twist of fate that we were just passing by at that time and I saw it all. How my childhood home just disappeared... And I burst into tears. I didn't expect this from myself. I didn't think, I couldn't imagine that it would be so painful...

My grandmother's house fell apart. Yes, it's emotional. It's essentially a 'witness' to childhood, and you realize that everything is fleeting and the years go by.

I still have a couple of apartments from my childhood, the rest have been sold, but they're well-maintained and loved) Still, sometimes I get really nostalgic 😢

I understand you. My grandmother's house, where I spent my entire childhood, also burned down, and my grandmother died. It's very difficult to accept. The plot was sold, and only the summer kitchen, the yard, and outbuildings remained. A few years ago, I even visited them. The new owners were understanding, but still, even the yard isn't the same... Lots of photos, mementos, almost nothing is left. Only in memories

My grandmother's house is gone. A drunkard moved in, died there, and wasn't found for a week... now it's leaning. Someone bought it, maybe they'll fix it up. All the sheds were torn down. It hurts so much to see it like this, my whole childhood was spent there

Yes, it hurts. I didn't have a privileged childhood, but when they started demolishing the house and the yard, it was incredibly painful.
The hardest part is that they left two walls standing and aren't tearing them down. Seeing the destruction is even more painful.

Sad. Grandma's house burned down a long time ago. My uncle fell asleep drunk with a cigarette and died. Then people bought it, renovated it, and live there now. It looks nice. But I still dream of the house as it was in my childhood. Grandma always kept everything tidy, it was very cozy.

I understand in my own way. I'm tidying up in bits and pieces in my mom's apartment. She lives in a nursing home now and doesn't need any of it anymore. It hurts and saddens me that all these things are no longer needed by anyone, that they've in a sense outlived my mom, especially since she's not of sound mind anymore. People used to collect things, cherish them, and now we have a ton of junk, and then it all turns out to be useless, just scraps of fabric, glass, wood, etc… 'Tidying up' is a strong word for it; I just gather some things to donate or take some small items for myself. Some of her things are still there, as if she were there yesterday.

We also went to the village in May and drove up to my grandparents' house. I also burst into tears at the sight – the house was leaning, the sheds were askew, the fence was overgrown and all this dry grass from last year. I hadn't been there for over 10 years, since the time the old folks were taken to my parents' place. They sold it in good condition, but what happened after that is unknown.
