Finding Peace,
One Piece At A Time
Personal possessions tell a beautiful story of a person’s life regardless of age. But when we find that we have accumulated too much or a loved one passes, it can be overwhelming to figure out what to do with all of these belongings. Finding Peace, One Piece at a Time provides tools for how to thin, repurpose, and redistribute these possessions in a way that can capture and cherish our memories and those of our loved ones so they continue to be with us today and for future generations.
In Finding Peace, One Piece at a Time, Rachel brings her compassionate, experienced and honest insight to the difficult problem of what to do with the possessions of a loved one who has passed on Finding Peace provides badly needed help for those left with an often-daunting task of sorting through possessions and the resulting sometimes difficult emotions. With a step-by-step process that acknowledges the complexities of grief, possessions, memories and history, Rachel guides those who need to sort, store and dispose of possessions in a practical, compassionate and frank manner.

“But experience is less likely to teach us how to bid our dearest possessions adieu. And if it were to? We wouldn’t welcome the education. For eventually, we come to hold our dearest possessions more closely than we hold our friends. We carry them from place to place, often at considerable expense and inconvenience; we dust and polish their surfaces and reprimand children for playing too roughly in their vicinity—all the while, allowing memories to invest them with greater and greater importance.”
—A Gentleman in Moscow
