if you can't get a place to hold all the items someone you know might be willing to hold on to things for a bit, some of my friends did that for me when I needed a place for stuff
however, I wouldn't base everything on getting the items saved or not...

she sounds unstable and unpredictable

I'm wondering how old your mother is, around, mine recently well I can no longer predict her responses
it's odd like if you don't do this, ike give me a hug, then I won't take care of this even if it is urgent... sort of thing...

it may be stress, did she start acting like that before or after your father's death? or when did you notice this change in her?
