Today’s Caring Moment is about how to make moving for your parents a little easier
- 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
