Cope with the Depression Era mind-set

Create emotionally sustaining environments to nurture the soul

Ready and sell the family home

Ask the RIGHT questions to help divest of treasures

Manage your energy and spirit throughout the process

Determine when it's time to consider alternative placement

Perform the ordinary in a non-ordinary way -- allowing you to preserve and heal family relationships
