All individuals and families will have tough times throughout the course of life, some harder than others. During these rough moments, there are a number of things that can help depending upon the specifics of the situation, ranging from friends and family to time with the people you care about the most. One thing that may provide assistance and comfort during your hard times is a storage unit. Indeed, our storage units at 83rd and Encanto can be a part of the support you need. Here are three difficult life situations where storage may prove very useful. A Divorce or Breakup When people move in together, they don’t do so with the intention of parting ways again in the future. Yet, for some couples, divorce or breaking up is a reality that they have to face. In addition to the emotional complications of parting ways, there are a number of logistical hurdles to overcome as well, including who will get what, which partner will be asked to find new lodging, etc. During this time, a storage unit can be used to place personal items as an individual searches for a new home. Child Going to College For parents, there is nothing more exciting than sending a child off to college - the act is a symbol of both their achievement and your own accomplishment. But saying farewell to a child can also be very emotional, with many parents experiencing empty nest syndrome. One thing that may help is to convert your child’s room into a space that allows for creativity, zen, or something else that you enjoy. In order to do this, you may need to temporarily move your child’s personal items and furniture to storage, which can house your belongings for as long as you need. Retirement Retirement--like sending a child off to college--is both an exciting and a challenging experience for many people. Those who retire often report initially feeling elation, only then to experience feelings of anxiety, purposelessness, and even depression. Something that can help you transition during this major life change is to stay busy, which might include going on a trip, picking up a new hobby, or doing something you love. For any of the above (or more), storage units can provide a safe place to store personal items to make room for something else, to aid while you’re downsizing to a smaller abode, or to even store suitcases and travel gear.
