Losing a spouse changes your entire life. As you start to find a way to deal with your grief, you might want to consider moving into a new house that will not shroud you in memories of the past. If you decide to give yourself a new start, use these tips to help make the moving process a little easier:
Clean Out the Closets
As hard as it might be to go through your spouse’s belongings, it is important to start cleaning out the closet. There will be items that you want to keep, and that is okay. Try to get rid of certain clothing and other items that do not hold sentimental value. It might be a difficult task, but cleaning out the closet can help you start to work with your grief.
Find a Comfortable Place to Live
As much as you love the house you shared with your spouse, finding a new place is about paying attention to what makes you feel comfortable. Look for a home or an apartment with adequate space for you and all of your belongings. Make sure you are close to any amenities that you might need. If possible, you should also try to move so that you will be closer to your friends and family.
Rely on the Moving Company
Planning a move after losing your spouse requires a lot of attention to detail. Work with a moving company that will offer you the services that you need. Take advantage of their storage services so you can keep some of your spouse’s most cherished possessions. Give the movers exact instructions about where to put your boxes in the new house. You will always remember your spouse. A new start just helps you keep living your own life.

Are you getting ready to move? Before moving day, buy a few wardrobe boxes from the moving company so that you can easily transport your clothing without wrinkles. Take about 5-15 hangers with clothing and secure them together with twist ties before hanging them from the rod in the box.
Put your shoes, belts, and other accessories into sturdy shopping bags and place them into the bottom of the box. Folded clothing can go into luggage or stay in their dresser drawers. Watch this video for more quick packing tips.

You have successfully completed your college career. Now that you are out in the real world, it is time to start thinking about finding your own place to live. Use these tips to find a place to live so you can start organizing your relocation with the moving company:
Choose a City
Maybe you do not want to live near your parents on Long Island after you finish college. In order to find a place of your own, though, you first have to decide where you want to go. Consider the top cities for college graduates, cities you have always wanted to visit, and places with available jobs. Once you find a city on which to focus, you can start the search for an actual residence. Giving yourself a direction will make it much easier to find a place to live.
Search the Classifieds
Whether you choose to work with a realtor or comb online listings, looking for a place to live requires a lot of time and commitment. If you are moving to a new city, it is a good idea to take a trip out there before your move so you can search in person. Do your research to find a living situation that meets your needs.
Plan the Move
Once you find where you want to move and sign all of the necessary paperwork, you can start organizing the logistics of the actual move. Work with your moving company to decide on the best time to relocate. Sign up for any moving services that will make your transition easier. You might want to consider placing a few things into storage, for example, until you get settled.
