This week, we had the honor of helping a sweet couple transition into assisted living — their fourth downsize. Each move gets harder, not just logistically, but emotionally too.🥲
This one came with an extra twist: we weren’t just packing for one location. We had to sort everything between their new home and their daughter’s garage — so every item needed a decision, a label, and a destination. It definitely added to the challenge, but we do love a good puzzle. 🧩
The husband, who is living with dementia, shared stories with me as we sorted through a lifetime of memories. Sculptures, art, and his military memorabilia (which we upgraded from a dusty shoebox to a box worthy of his service). And yes… his old, well-loved chair that his wife insisted had to go to the trash? It went to the new home. Because that chair is his comfort zone, his safe space — and when you're facing a big change, that kind of comfort and familiarity matters more than anything.💙
Huge shoutout to my incredible team, Katie and Maddalena— not only did they handle high-end packing and heavy lifting, sentimental moments, and juggling multiple destinations, but they brought heart, humor, and support through it all. ❤️ These moves are emotional and physical, but we’ve got each other. And that makes all the difference. We love what we do!!
