The Tong Family
Main Content
In the last 3 years, both of Helene's parents passed away and her husband left her. Parting with their belongings would create empty spaces (meaning failure) and give her panic attacks. Her daughter, Samantha, is frustrated with her mom and wants her to purge the clutter. Samantha is leaving in Dec. for the military and will be away for two years. Helene sees this as another loss, but Samantha wants her mom to be in a better place before she departs so they can enjoy the time they have together instead of bickering over the clutter. Helene contacted CH because her past losses are scaring her from letting go and moving forward.
