Reviews for Downsizing The Family Home

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wish I'd had this book a few years ago when two households in my extended family had to be downsized. Marni Jameson writes with good humor (I chuckled many times), compassion, and lots of excellent practical advice. Though this book definitely gives concrete strategies for sorting through and liquidating a home, it is different from "declutter" and "organize" and "sell stuff" guides in that it talks about the emotional side. What should you do with your mom's wedding dress? Your childhood bedroom furniture? Your mom's china that was an important part of every family celebration you can remember? How do you dispose of your parents' belongings in a way that respects and honors everyone's memories? You will find good suggestions here, and that's a comfort.
