Today’s Caring Moment is about how to make moving a little easier for your parents.
- Let your parents’ emotional and physical comfort guide the process. Remember, forcing your parents to follow a sequence that doesn’t address their priorities usually results in conflict and inattention.
- Try to replicate the old environment.
- Focus on sorting, not packing.
- Accept their gifts.
- Be tactful.
- Let your parents say, “Goodbye.”
- Be realistic about how much time you can devote to the process.
- Concentrate on the big picture.
- Think about hiring a Senior Move Manager to help with the whole process.
