downsizing Your Home

Jill Hanson, a retiree, decides to downsize her home. Over her lifetime, Jill has accumulated lots of "stuff", so she must make many decisions. Even though she is elated at her new opportunities for travel and leisure activities, Jill is dismayed about the big house and the possessions she is losing. How will she do it? How will she succeed in transitioning her life to a condominium?

Jill wonders: "How will I preserve my memories?", "How do I identify what I really need?", "How will my family feel?", "How will I spend the time I have now that home maintenance is not an issue"?

John, Jill's son, wonders: "Why does she want to move from our family home?", "How can she give away all her memories?", "How can our family traditions survive or ever feel normal again?"
