Twenty years ago, my grandmother sold her eight bedroom home and moved to an apartment. “Take the tablecloth,” she begged, “the mirror, the china, this crystal…”. The list went on and on. “I don’t have room,” I told her. “It’s not my taste...I already have two of those.” I had good reasons for saying “No.”

Now I regret those decisions. It’s not that I have grown to like or need the items she offered; it’s that I now see my actions as self-centered or immature. I was thinking about myself, when I should have been thinking about her.

Whether your parents live nearby or in a distant state, helping them move is hard. In addition to the physical tasks your parents face, there are emotional hurdles, often unspoken, about leaving the family home, fear of change, and dealing with loss. Your relationship with your parents may be evolving, as you assume responsibility on their behalf. They may welcome your involvement, or they may resent it, seeing it as a loss of control. If there have been health crises, you may already have taken off time from work to support your parents. Dealing with their “stuff’ is one more hurdle.
