What are some ways they help take the stress out of moving?
The process of packing up and relocating at any age can be daunting but even more so when the person moving has often been in the same home for 30 + years and has accumulated years of stuff and a lot of the stuff is tied to memories and emotion. It is often difficult to look past the overwhelming task of packing, moving and all the choices necessary to determine what items they will take with them and how to fit those items into smaller accommodations. Often the hardest part is just knowing where to start.
