The Big Mom Move to Nowhere Has Begun

We don't know where my senior mother is moving but we have to pack and move her anyway.
My poor sister is tasked with sifting through a hundred boxes, unpacked for years, and attempts to get my mom to give away and throw out some things.

I wish her luck and I will join after the packing is underway.

Today's threats so far after attempts to pack anything included: Should I just sit in the park like an old person? For she equates not having 100% of the belongings from the last 50 years as having nothing and being worthless.

I wonder where I got my propensity for minimalism?

Techniques we are using to get my mom to relocate more easily:

-Found a nice couple who can not only help her go through her things but pack and move them. They are not $65 and hour like senior downsizing specialists but much less in a range we can afford.

-Told her she could move many of her cherished things to my house then take them somewhere else if she doesn't end up moving in with me.

We haven't moved on to the probably fruitless suggestion to take photos of things.

This all has yet to kick in since she really doesn't listen. I guess we'll see.

Any suggestions welcome!

  1. I was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) when I was 46 years old 2 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating. my arms weakened first, then my hands and legs. Last year, a family friend told me about DOCTOR JAMES Herbal mix medicine and its effectiveness in treating lALS , I contacted him. and ordered for his herbal mix medicine, i was happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed my Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), most of the symptoms stopped, i was  able to walk and eat well, sleep well and exercise regularly., i'm  pretty active now and my attitude is extremely positive.i joyfully recommend you to DR.JAMES  because health is wealth this is a very bad experience with those living with ALS  or any other diseases like Shingle,schizophrenia,Bipolar, Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Bladder Cancer,Colorectal Cancer,Breast Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Leukemia,Lung Cancer,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Fibromyalgia,a
