This [censored]...... I know eventually I will get stronger and when she is out of the house completely it may get easier... Just not happening today.
It will. If your experience will be anything like mine expect a combination of randomness and thoroughness. Certain things that would have reminded my W of happier times were left as was her wedding dress. Other things just didn't make sense like her leaving 3 pairs of shoes out of the dozens that she had.
It was frustrating but also funny because for weeks I'd be looking for something like the good kitchen scissors and they wouldn't be there, but both can openers were.
Oh - and pick up take-away food for dinner tonight. My fridge was one of the victims, again, both random and thorough. I still have a can of Cherry Coke that W loves sitting in there (you can't get it in Canada).
With her gone though you can start making the house your own. I was originally tempted to go nuts and start throwing stuff out, re-arranging etc but found it draining. I've taken it one step at a time and slowly reclaimed almost all of the house now.
