Downsizing Drama: Letting Go Without Losing It

We got rid of 50% of mom and dad's belongings when moving them from a single family home to a 2-bedroom apartment in a retirement home, and then downsized again by about 25% when we moved them within that same retirement home from a 2-bedroom apartment to a 1-bedroom apartment.


How did we handle making tough decisions when it was time to downsize two parents with dementia?
