‘Downsizing the Family Home: A Workbook, Volume 2: What to Save, What to Let Go’

It's just stuff! Maybe so, but sorting through it all and quieting the emotions that downsizing stirs up is difficult--whether you're going through your own or your parents' home. This indispensable workbook provides valuable advice and how-to checklists along with a place to reflect, record, and retain an important piece of family history, even as you let go.

Nationally syndicated columnist Marni Jameson covers these topics, and more:

• Nostalgia: Memories--not things--matter. Learn to let go of the guilt and sadness that downsizing awakens as you sort through the feelings along with the stuff.
• Endow: Discover why you cling to possessions, and find the freedom to move on to the next chapter in your life.
• Downsize: Roll up your sleeves and dive in! Figure out what to toss, sell, donate, and keep, all while maintaining harmony in the family.
• Keepsakes: Save just enough to keep warm memories alive without creating clutter.
