Dear Seniors (and the people who love them),

I know you’d like to effortlessly manage all of the details, but
every time you think about leaving your home, you freeze up or think of hundreds of reasons why you don’t need to do anything JUST YET…
and I also know that:

YOU REALLY DO WANT
TO START TAKING ACTION!

Whether your move is pending or is only a slight possibility in your future, I know you will want to make intelligent decisions about everything involved in downsizing and managing your later life move.

Read what the PROFESSIONALS have to say:

"When it's more than just stuff, how to Downsize your Belongings and Manage a Later Life Move", is a well thought out guide for one of life's major transitions.  The advice is pragmatic and based on real world experience.  As a medical practitioner who frequently encounters families struggling with these issues, I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.

"Here at last is a practical and complete BOOK that every older adult should get and read and use as a reference whether he or she is ready to move or not!

It provides help in understanding housing options and demystified the many tasks involved in the emotional experience of moving and deciding what possession to take and why.

How I wish this book had been available when my husband and I downsized and moved from a house to a condominium.  In fewer than 200 pages the authors use humor and anecdotes to help the reader avoid countless headaches and heartaches."

Hello, my name is Arline Abrams, SRES and Owner of SENIOR TRANSITIONS NW, a company catering  to the needs of seniors and their families who are  are facing later life move. For the past 35 years, my life’s work has been focused on helping people successfully deal with major life transitions: As a therapist, educator, workshop leader, author and realtor (certified Senior Real Estate Specialist expert in the issues and needs of seniors), I have learned a great deal.

Yet I do not approach this subject solely from years of my professional experience.  IT IS VIA MY OWN EXPERIENCE AND CRISIS-INDUCED MOVE FROM A HOME THAT I LOVED, that this topic became so important to me.

In fact, this event was one of the catalysts for starting my business.  It was also the reason for writing this book... to help others who  face the challenges involved when moving to a smaller home, DEAL with the myriad of details involved.  This book will definitely help you get from “here” to “there”. I know because this book has worked for hundreds of people just like you.

Therefore, it is with heartfelt joy, a sense of purpose and a deep commitment to ease your way, that I present this guidebook to you.  

You are not alone. Thousands of people, just like you, are dealing with this very same thing.

Main Book

See if Helens story sounds familiar to you

Helen sat in her favorite chair and looked around the room. Surrounding her were books, mementos, pictures, antiques, beautiful rugs and furniture that could not possibly fit into the condominium she had chosen.

Helen thinks about the other items gathering dust on her shelves and shudders.“How can I let go of my mother’s china set, and what about her collection of coins from around the world?” Her daughters, too busy with their own families, show no interest in these or other items Helen has offered. And ALL OF THESE THOUGHTS LEAVE HELEN FILLED WITH FRUSTRATION.

On one day, she thinks “I’ll donate them to a museum or find someone that would really appreciate them”, while on another, she wonders how much she might get if she sold them to the right people.

Yet, on other days, she simply feels irritable and thinks “I’m calling
a junk hauler and getting rid of the whole lot” and with all surprise of
these conflicting thoughts, IT’S NO WONDER THAT HELEN ENDS UP DOING NOTHING AT ALL.

After reading the book, she sent the following to me:

Thank you for writing such a helpful book. It is an immense help to me no matter what the job at hand is. I was so confused and had no idea how to deal with so many things. It was so easy to look up just what I needed to know for the day. I am so relieved to discover yet another set of directions that are easy to follow. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AS I SORT THROUGH MY THINGS and decide what to do with the things I no longer want. The sections of "Appraising your Valuables" and "Giving Away Things to Loved One's" is a blessing in disguise. I can't thank you enough for making such a difficult process so manageable.

HELEN P. 74 y.o., RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER, who moved from a 2400 square foot home to an 865 square foot condominium. Helen is truly enjoying herself and laughed when I asked if she missed some of her things!

YES, THAT’S ALL IT TOOK.

AND IT COULD WORK FOR YOU TOO!

I know first hand how challenging it is to leave a home that you adore.  I have experienced the difficulty, pain, financial pressures and more when unexpected events forced me into leaving the home I loved. Due to a car accident, where I was broadsided by a drunk driver, I required several surgeries, and could no longer manage stairs or do many of the things I’d done for years.

Carrying things up and down stairs in my 2.5 story home was always challenging (and painful) and my most cherished hobby, gardening was no longer an option.

I had to face the fact that, no matter how much I resisted, I had to move to a smaller, one level low maintenance home, which would enable me to live more comfortably (and have a better life). But I resisted doing anything about it for a very long time.

From this experience, I learned first-hand how overwhelming it can be and how many things there are to be done.  Especially downsizing my belongings.

Giving away items that I no longer had room for was the most challenging.  I think my client, Ed, best sums up why it is so hard!

“It’s more than just a hammer…
every time I look at it; I see the
tree house I built with my son!”

One of the chief problems causing many to resist starting this process, are the many half-truths they have heard from well meaning  friends or the media.

Worst of all, they’ve heard stories or been told these things over the years, and so often, their beliefs are not based on current and accurate informationUnfortunately, people just like you, end up putting off doing what they know is the right thing because they make decisions based on false assumptions.

Because these half-truths will only prevent you from getting the results you want, let me share the top three myths with you.

THE TOP THREE MYTHS

Myth # l:  I’M NOT MOVING FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS SO THERE’S  NO NEED TO BOTHER WITH THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

Unfortunately, most people do not give themselves the necessary time
to sort through their possessions.  Like you, they felt they would not be moving for several years.  Then, their dream home became available, or they had a medical crisis and were not able to participate in decision making about many things.

Going through a lifetime of belongings is a very complex process and you want to give yourself ample time to carefully decide what to do with everything you own.

Fortunately you can learn how to make confident decisions about how and what to give away, what you should throw out and what you’ll want to keep for your new home.  You will find out how to pack up your belongings, how to hire movers.  And on page 130, you will even learn how to pack while your home is for sale. 

Not only will you learn how to unpack and set up your new home.  You will also discover strategies for handling the emotional aspects of downsizing your belongings and leaving your current home. 

BOTTOM LINE: A positive experience sorting through a lifetime of memories is possible when you have ample time.


Myth #2:  LETTING GO OF BELONGING IS SO PAINFUL I CAN’T FACE GIVING ANYTHING AWAY.

Instead of thinking this process is sad and painful, WHEN IT'S MORE THAN JUST STUFF - HOW to DOWNSIZE YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS and MANAGE a LATER LIFE MOVE... will show you that downsizing can be a positive experience.

You may have possessions that you want to keep in your family but don’t know who to give them to.  On page 86, you will find information about giving your belongings to loved ones. 

For instance, wouldn’t it be nice to visit your children and see some of your favorite possessions not only being used but also hear the stories that surround the item.  Or, think of the satisfaction you will get from donating some of your things to charity—not to mention the tax benefits of donating. 

We provide you with directions on everything from how to apply for tax deductions on donated items, to putting on a  yard sale (or hiring it out) where to sell your valuables on the Internet, and what to do with the hazardous waste that is accumulating in your garage. You will also learn how to say “goodbye” to some things you may really not want or need anymore.

Once you have committed to simplifying your life, giving things away becomes much easier.  This incredible resource will help you discover that downsizing needn’t be painful.

BOTTOM LINE: Most people find that the process of downsizing is more difficult than actually letting go of their belongings.


Myth #3:  EVERY RETIREMENT HOME IS DEPRESSING.  THERE IS NOTHING TO DO BUT SIT AROUND AND GET OLD.

This may have been true many years ago but not today! Today’s retirement homes are full of healthy, intelligent people leading active lives.  On page 30,  you will learn the difference between retirement homes, assisted living, and full care facilities.  You will discover that people are involved in an outstanding assortment of activities from yoga to bridge to going to the horse races once a month.  You will find that retirement homes provide transportation to shopping centers, cultural events, the movies and more.  Learn why people find themselves actively engaged and busier than ever.  If you want privacy, you can have it, but more likely than not, your days will be so full you may relish the idea of someone else cooking for you—or not! 

BOTTOM LINE: Retirement homes now offer exciting programs,
a social life if you want it and the right to privacy if you don’t. They are also populated with bright, active adults.

ISN’T TIME TO THINK DIFFERENTLY?

Okay, So what’s the cost for this Incredible resource?

Let’s do a quick comparison - last time I checked you would need at least 3 books to cover the same information we cover in just one.  It would also cost you 3 times the amount of money.  And NONE OF THESE HAVE LARGE FONTS TO MAKE THINGS EASIER ON YOUR EYES.
