Given your state right now, I'd pre-empt him coming over by saying that you feel you need some time & space to get used to being in the house by yourself. While he may have things in there, ask if he can wait to get those for a week or two while you adjust. That gives you some time to work through the nervous phase & see how you feel.

You also might want to move all his stuff into a spare room or the garage, so that they are not something you are running into to remind you all the time. Hiring a couple teens if there are bigger things or lots. May give you some piece of mind.

Other than that & Py's advice, I'd think about early on having things to do with friends & family (either out of the house or over there). It will likely help the adjustment.

Good luck.
