God, I hate to ask this…

I can recommend you this music which cured my anxieties and which i listen  each time i felt bad:

it is not recreational piece nor new age piece but a real healing music repetitive and deeply penetrating : 

Jonathan Goldman is an expert in meditative and healing music but i tried many of his others pieces so good they are they dont reach to the level of this "medecine musical master piece"..

As i said it is not a music to be tasted and appreciated it is a drug pill nothing more nothing less  and it work..( it is a mantra grounded in the Christ name )

When i am ill i cannot listen my favorite music because i had a weight on my head and heart, only this music cure me....i used it 35 years, the first time it was for severe panic attack and after 20 minutes the worst was behind like a miracle...

I dont claim it will cure you but it will help you a lot...

I am deeply appreciative of the encouragement, good thoughts and clear thinking much in evidence here. Linear problem solving has obviously eluded me here and your ideas have helped to place my situation both in context and perspective. There is some irony in my stressing over the dispatch of objects rather than the dizzying constellation of side effects of immunotherapy. Yes, culling the amount of ‘stuff’ to a manageable and necessary level, creating a concrete plan of disposition for the rest and simply playing this out seems imminently sane. I am happy that I raised this question with a community who would understand what I was talking about. To Jim, I reside in the far southern reaches of metro Chicago. 
Again, appreciation and gratitude to you all.

I would suggest to get a reasonably priced mixed component and a reasonably priced blue tooth adapter and start streaming music through your phone or IPad.  Start selling all your other components including physical media. Your family will never sell it for it is worth. Do it now and pass the benefits of your passion onto your family. Sorry about your change in health status. It is a fate that none of us can deny. 

I went through cancer treatment last year and I realized I had better get some things sold or gone. My wife does not want to deal with some of these things should I not last. I sold off our boat and am sending my rangefinder camera collection to a consigner. I took her to a local audio dealer I have dealt with for decades , who sells both new and used gear, so they could meet and  now she is comfortable with the idea of calling them and saying to come over and consign what you think you can sell.

I am also looking over my collection of DIY audio parts and realize they have to go next.  So much stuff. Boxes on boxes.  I wont be building any tube amps,... again. Guess Id better go talk to what little is left of surplus electronics businesses. Sadly, few people seem to be capable  DIY projects anymore.  

I recommend you sell whatever you can, fast.  Quality audio is not a priority for most .  Gaming yes, audio not so much.

@williamjohnston Your've got to the time in your life, where the very well established patterns are now fragile and maintenance of regular interests are quite possible as being not as important to be maintained.

Your openness on this matter is not the usual, and responding to such a openness is not a daily occurrence for myself. 

There is the sense that there is a growing need to Finalise Personal Affairs and if one feels the need to include items used to support their Hobby of listening to recorded music as an area to be included in the action of tidying things up, the intensity of how much is put into it is down to the individual.

For what it's worth, in the past few years, I have bought Audio Equipment from two recent widowed individuals only as purchases made to help out.

l purchased with what I deemed to be a full sensitivity towards the Seller, i.e, not making stupid dealer offers and also sharing with the widower experiences in audio which they seemingly related to and were seemingly contented with hearing.

I do believe the meeting had positives, and the widower was glad to have the encounter. 

Having a selection of items remaining for the family to deal with as your estate, where they are fully aware of the asking price to be a fair sale, might assist them with processing their loss, when they get to the place, the items left are now able to be let go.
