Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

It does not matter what age you are, tragedies happen and then family and freinds are left to get rid of the treasures that a person owns. Personal experience in retirement communities when somebody passes away alot of things just get thrown into dumpsters.

Sadly, I too have seen it. When my Mom was in Hospice, another family there was arranging to dump with their Mom's 3 car garage of sewing and craft items as the home was sold. I had connections, and we were able, over 2 weeks, to move about 80-90% to new homes. They were grateful and the charities were thrilled. The Estate Agents here won't handle those things.
I have arrangements in place for my own items like that, beyond what my girls want.
