As we all know, the most difficult part of moving is not the labor – you can always get help with the packing and heavy lifting. Instead, the real challenges of moving are leaving friends and family, changing jobs, and helping your kids adjust to a new school. With all of these hurdles to keep in mind, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before the big day. So how do you manage your long distance transition, and make the move an easier and more positive adjustment for everyone?
How To Make Your Difficult Relocation Easier
Scheduling Visits With Family & Friends
Leaving family and friends behind is undoubtedly the most emotionally draining part of moving. Talk with your loved ones and arrange a time that you’ll visit soon in the future, such as Thanksgiving, New Year’s, etc. Visiting and staying in touch will make the transition easier to accept for everyone.
Talking with Your Employer
Changing jobs (or just offices) is also a major stressor when moving. Speak with your boss about the move and the time you’ll need to settle in before starting work. With clear expectations, the transition will seem far less stressful.
Visiting Schools Ahead of Time
Your kids will also be making a transition to a new school and community. Visit their new school with them, and try to get them excited about classes, clubs, and activities. If they’re struggling with leaving friends behind, arrange for a way they can keep in contact with their friends.
