When it comes to moving, many of us over-estimate what we are capable of accomplishing, and misjudge how much time it will take to get it done. I see this a lot in the process of moving. Someone who hasn't moved in awhile forgets just how much work it really is. Add to this the emotional stress of downsizing, and you've got someone who really needs support. And often, adult children live far away and don't realize that their parents really aren't up to the task, that they need help. The next thing that happens is the child, or children, try to come for a few days, anticipating that this will be enough time to prepare for the movers. Unfortunately, it usually isn't. Another thing that frequently is not understood is just how difficult a time this is for the senior who is moving, and they shouldn't be rushed through the move process.
