Sold Our House. Sad.

[HearMeSnore]

We have just moved house, and left our first family home in the hands of new owners. Moving has never bothered me much before but this time I found it really hard. Once we'd got all our stuff out I went round vacuuming, and I swear in every room I heard echoes of our time there. I came out sobbing.

Our new place is nice (although currently piled high with bags and boxes and still needs some work done before we can use the master bedroom), but I can't help grieving for our happy home.

This is perfectly normal ..I was sad leaving one of my previous homes, it felt as if some of my heart was still there - BUT I really wanted to move to something bigger and better so most of my heart was in the new place! We stayed at the new place for eight years but, during the last couple of years, we longed for another house around the corner so, when it came up for sale, we jumped for it - and got it! There’s been no looking back!

I think, once you start unpacking and settling in, it will all become a lot easier. Change can be hard 🌺

I felt same and still do tbh when i pass my old place. But i am also startingto love my new house so hang in there it will get better 😉

Me too OP. We moved yesterday into a bigger house with a better location that will afford us a better quality of life, it's perfect, I love it.

BUT I cried yesterday morning leaving our old home, even though we'd moved with the purpose of all of the above, our old home is such a part of us, we bought it a young unwed child free couple and left it a family of 4.

We planned our wedding from the dining room table in that house, brought our babies home from hospital to that house, grew together in that house. I think mourning is perfectly normal.

Yeah, I felt the same. I took pictures of all of the rooms and saved the pictures that the estate agent took. I had some nice memories in that house and I was so happy there. I still think about the house all of the time too especially when a new problem pops up on this place but it does get easier.

Hope you settle soon.
