MrsD.....to me....once you become detached enough and more resolute in what you want...it is much easier to make the move. At that point, things like empty closets aren't like little daggers to your heart. It might not be a Mayday picnic...but i t doesn't hurt your heart so much.
That was my experience, at least.....
