My girlfriend is facing a difficult divorce, and although she is clear about what she needs to do, she is calm and collected until our discussions turn to her garden. She is suddenly distraught. The place where she has sought solace, the yard where her children squealed with laughter, the flowers that have brought her so much joy..... some things you cannot take with you.
As women, we are immersed through our hearts and soul to the homes we have tended and toiled over. There is no doubt in my mind that abruptly leaving or even a calculated move does not ensure the process will be any easier. But just as we can hardly avoid change in this world, leaving behind a home we've known and loved will someday happen.
Staging a home can often soften the process psychologically as we prepare ourselves and the physical dwelling for some other family to know and love a dwelling the way we did. We begin to hear other children in our homes and slowly become excited about our own possibilities for the future.imagine ourselves
