We moved all of her furniture in and ours put into storage. I talked about how much I liked her home improvement. We spoke about it all the time. She became comfortable in her furnishings. Nothing about this is easy. Your thanks will be knowing you tried to help

"I Love what you have done with the house" Over and over. She will come to believe it. Patience, persistence and a bit of humor goes a long way
