Do the hard part now. Live lighter today.
Making Room is a workbook for clearing a parent’s home, and the things left unsaid, together. It’s for the years before a crisis, while there’s still room to go slowly.
Get the workbookMaybe you’ve been telling yourself it’s too early. That you’re only forty, that there’s time. Most of us do. But the boxes in the garage are rarely just boxes, and the conversation you keep putting off doesn’t get easier by waiting. Doing the hard work now isn’t morbid. It’s how you make room, in the house and in your head, for the life you’re living today.
What it covers
Eight short modules: where you stand, the feelings nobody warns you about, talking to your parent, the room-by-room sort, keepsakes, family dynamics, a plan for when things change fast, and care for yourself.
Who it’s for
Anyone caring for someone older: a parent, in-law, grandparent, or a friend who’s become family. You don’t need to be forty, and nothing needs to be wrong yet.
What it isn’t
Not a will, an estate plan, or legal, medical or financial advice. It’s the practical and emotional groundwork around those, with pointers to the right professionals.
Why JustForty
I’m Ty, an end-of-life doula. My father died at forty, when I was twelve, so I know how unevenly time is given. JustForty started as my own way of sorting grief, a house, and my excuses. It helped, so I’ve shaped it into something for you.
