Some objects trigger memory and emotion whether you're thinking about it or not, and one client's story about a rocking chair shows how to keep the sentiment without the sadness. Where to start depending on your situation. Specific first steps for divorce, blending families, an empty nest, aging parents moving in, or settling into a new city.
