Relationship breakdowns can be emotionally devastating. In a case of divorce, it is the end of a relationship. Aside from the emotional toll, you need to deal with all the ‘stuff’ that you both accumulated during the relationship.
Renting a self storage unit gives you the opportunity to gather your belongings in a safe and secure environment, not associated with the relationship. It gives you time and opportunity to sort, discard, keep and donate items that you may not have room for in your new home.
Some things to consider when a relationship ends:
Determine type of storage needed
Book a storage unit
Take time to deal with the emotional impact
Take time to sort through your stuff
Permanent living accommodations don’t need to happen immediately
Start building your new life
To give yourself time to process next steps, determine what type and size of storage you will need for your items. Will you be taking furniture; does it need to be in a climate-controlled environment? Do you have art work and collectibles that need to be protected from excessive heat and cold weather? Do you need boxes or other packing supplies? How much space do you need to store your stuff?
Our professional staff at Riel Park RV & Self Storage can assist you with answers to your questions. We have drive up unheated units and indoor climate controlled storage units of various sizes available for you.

Before your start purging or leaving behind stuff, take the time to recognize your emotional state. Allow yourself time to calm your emotions before you make any irreversible decisions about your items. A self storage unit allows you to keep your personal belongings in a safe environment waiting for you to decide what to keep, store, donate or discard. These decisions don’t need to be made immediately.
Often when you are making a quick and hasty move, your packing is not as organized as you would like. Take the time to sort through your stuff in the storage unit – one box at a time. Organize your belongings into ‘Must Keep’ and ‘Decide later’, labelling the containers. Once you know the size and location of your new home, you can go through the ‘Decide later’ containers and determine whether the contents should go with you, be sold, be donated or discarded.
Don’t make snap long-term decisions on your future living accommodations until you’ve had time to take a look at what you need and want for your future. Self storage gives you the time you’ll need to make the best choice.
By moving your stuff into a self storage facility, you take the pressure off making the big decisions for your future. Your personal belongings have a temporary home, giving you time to plan your future rather than just reacting to your current situation. Make and review your future plans and what actions you need to take to have them happen.
Self storage gives you the breathing space to create a positive future.
