Downsizing is a stressful and emotional task, here are a few ways to make the process more enjoyable for the family.

  1. PACE YOURSELF
    • Rushing the move is what adds an extra layer of stress and creates more tasks.
  2. HELP YOUR LOVED ONE STAY IN CONTROL
    • Allow them to participate and 
    • Encourage them to go through their own things and enjoy all of their memories  
  3. CELEBRATE SPECIAL MOMENTS
    • Memories are gifts that are often taken for granted, give your family time to reminisce  
  4. DE-CLUTTER FAMILY HEIRLOOMS EARLY & OFTEN
    • Giving away or handing down family heirlooms creates happiness and joy   
    • These are the emotions that should be present in a compassionate senior move
