Getting Through the Stuff
When a loved one passes away or moves into an assisted living or nursing home environment, you are faced with all the emotions of loss and change. The problem becomes much worse when you find yourself burdened with all of the possessions they leave behind for you to deal with.
In Getting Through the Stuff, Marcella Peyre-Ferry recounts her personal experiences in emptying and selling her aunt's home after she was placed in a nursing home, and then coping with a house full of items and a packed storage unit when her mother passed away. She provides helpful insights on how she dealt with the physical possessions and the emotional burdens that come with disposing of another person's lifetime accumulation of stuff.
By writing this book and sharing her experiences, she hopes to make it easier for others who are facing similar situations.
The book will be helpful to anyone having trouble coping with the possessions of a departed loved one, or helping a family member downsize to smaller living quarters. It will also be helpful to those who are planning for the future, who want to avoid leaving burdens for others to deal with.
