Coping with Memory Clutter

In order to help the family start moving things out of the room, Peter uses a three-step plan.

Step 1: Place all items in another area. Peter sets up a tarp in the yard and places the items on top of it.

Step 2: Decide how you want to feel in the space. Lincoln says he wants to feel relaxed in Jake's old room. "I want to feel like we're still including Jake in the family," Jenny says.

Step 3: Sort everything into three categories. Peter establishes one area for charity donations, another for the things the family wants to keep and a third for the "best of the best" to be included in a memory chest.
