I have come by a lot of articles and blog posts about downsizing the elderly lately. It makes a lot of sense that they are the ones that have accumulated quite some possessions over the years. Most of their items are difficult to let get go of because of emotional values, it activates forgotten or lost memories that are attached to them.
