Downsizing is never easy—but when it comes after the loss of a spouse or parent, it can feel almost impossible. In this heartfelt episode, we talk about what it really looks like to downsize in the wake of grief. Whether you're sorting through a loved one’s belongings or facing the emotional decision to leave a shared home, we’re here to guide you with compassion, encouragement, and practical advice.

We’ll cover:

• Why there’s no “right time” to start—just the right time for you
• How to begin sorting belongings without retraumatizing yourself
• Tips for creating healing rituals during the process
• What to do when a home no longer fits the life you’re living
• How to honor their memory without holding onto everything

You are not alone in this. Whether you're early in your grief or further along and still carrying the weight of “stuff,” this episode offers a gentle, honest roadmap to help you move forward.
