How to Let Go of Sentimental Items When Downsizing

Writer's picture: Karen MartinKaren Martin


Parting with sentimental items can be one of the hardest aspects of downsizing, but it’s an important step toward creating a peaceful, uncluttered home. Start by identifying items that truly hold meaning for you. If everything feels sentimental, ask yourself: Does this item bring me joy, or am I holding onto it out of guilt or obligation?

For items you can’t keep, consider taking photos to preserve the memory. Pass cherished belongings to family or friends who may appreciate them, ensuring they continue to be loved. Remember, memories live in your heart, not in objects. Letting go can create room for new experiences while honoring the past.
