First of all, well done for taking this big step. It's bound to feel strange at first ... and smaller, because it is. Try to focus on the positives. Tell us what made you chose this particular house? What do you like about it? Put a photo of DH on the mantel or shelf and say to him: Right! I've come this far. I think you'd be proud of me. What next?

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your husband.
You’ve faced some very big changes recently so congratulations on managing the move.
I’m sure as things settle, including your nerves, you’ll feel less upset and unhappy.
Try and keep busy and make plans. Think about decorating if you’re able to. Do some decluttering. If your finances allow then now’s the time to treat yourself to something you really want.
Think ahead to Christmas and think how you’d like your home to be.
This is a new beginning for you. I wish you every happiness in your new home. You can create something beautiful.

Hi all just looking for some support and advice

I have been trying to move for two years and last Friday I moved into my new home

But, I feel so unsettled, missing my previous house and feeling really horrible in all

My other property was bigger and feeling chlostraphobic in my new house

It's the first ever property that I have moved into alone, I lost my husband last year

Bhas, anyone else felt this
