Telemark, I’ve been lurking without much to add. I know the feelings. We’ve been given the tools to move past the devastation. Take a deep breath and begin. It is tough, and I suspect you’ll revisit the anguish, but you will persevere.
STBXW is doing her move in stages. The last time she was by to take a load I helped her carry out the contents of her side of the closet, gave her extra hangers and carried out the boxed contents of her lingerie drawers. It was my way of showing her I dropped the rope. Truth too as I am about 99% ambivalent about it.

^^^^ Truth also.
In my case taking her/our stuff off the walls and putting up/arranging things to my taste helped. This winter I’ll begin repainting as time and funds permit.
It isn’t over until it’s over, and that is up to you, when you are ready.
I forgot that line from Animal House thanks LP from me too.
