Moving can be a stressful and fraught endeavour at the best of times. Even when you’re well equipped and advised – by companies like ours, but trusted moving professionals – financial, emotional, physical and other challenges can add to the complications and anxiety.
Moving senior family members can be especially daunting. The Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) and the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) recently teamed up to present Moving Seniors Safely Week. GM Packaging is a CAM member as well as a studious follower of the organization’s informative newsletters and resources, and highly recommends what they have to share on this subject:
- “Mom admitted that she couldn’t let go, partly out of duty to the family legacy, and partly because this was her life and that meant it was coming to an end.”
