DW and I were both widowed we had two houses to dispose of and all the accumulation of two different lives. She told her DD's to come and take what they wanted and had them take a few things to hold for her for when we find it time to come off the road. Then because she had a hard time it fell on me to finish the job.
We didn't bother with yard sales it all went to local charities or a dumpster.
A year later it was my turn. No kids but several nieces and nephews just starting out and a few trips to goodwill I was done.
