Life Changes

After the death of her husband, Mary felt lonely and longed to be near her children and grandchildren up North.

She discussed her situation with her family then took a small apartment in her old hometown. She chose which items she wished to take with her after deciding not to move her tropical look furniture. She then called Clearing House to dispose of the remaining furnishings. She was happy to learn that her husband's clothing and tools would be donated to people who would benefit from them, sparing her the pain of sorting through his things.

She took the things she had chosen, listed her house for sale, then moved North.

Mary maintained her sense of independence by handling her move without disrupting her family, benefited from the sale of consignment furnishings, and will use the receipts from donations for IRS deductions. Feeling capable of handling her own affairs, she began a new chapter of her life with confidence.
