Keeping your memories
by Eliza Freiday
Recently, I moved a customer, who as an 82-year-old woman, was extremely worried about packing up all her memories and leaving the home that she had lived in for the past 55 years. I told her that I would be there to make the process as easy as possible for her. She and I talked on the phone for over 45 minutes discussing how to declutter the items that she hasn’t seen or touched in the past ten years. This helped her downsize by almost ten cartons, two old couches and a closet full of old cleaning supplies! She told me that is also helped her feel like she was starting over and it was a good feeling to her! Moving as a senior is difficult in itself, but there is help out there and people who want to make the process easier for you. For questions or advice, feel free to call a Barrett Moving & Storage coordinator — we love to listen!
