Rightsizing & Moving
When letting go feels harder than the move itself.
Â
For many older adults and families, the hardest part of a move isn’t the logistics — it’s the belongings.
Every drawer holds memories.
Every room tells a story.
And the idea of deciding what stays, what goes, and what comes next can feel emotionally exhausting, overwhelming, and deeply personal.
Clients often worry about:
-
Hurting a loved one’s feelings
-
Rushing decisions they might regret
-
Making the “wrong” choice with meaningful items
-
Taking on more than they can emotionally or physically manage
When everything feels connected to a lifetime of memories, it’s easy to feel stuck.
