Moving
Selling your home is rarely easy. You not only have time constraints and emotional issues, but you’re at the mercy of the real estate market.

You need a secure storage unit to give you time to make some important decisions. You can store your items safely and see where life takes you. The decisions can wait.
Divorce

Sometimes life takes you on a sorrowful journey.
Move to Assisted Living/Nursing Home
For most elderly people, this is a painful transition. Leaving their home is unimaginable; their memories are more vivid than their current lives. They may be confused and disoriented, and trying to deal with their belongings is distressing for them. If you store the items that they can no longer use, you can examine them at your leisure and; if possible, involve your loved ones in decisions as to how they can best be donated or discarded.
Loss
It’s not an easy subject, but most people will suffer a loss in their lifetime. Every individual grieves the death of a loved one on their own personal level. It takes time and patience. The emotions involved can make disposing of the deceased’s belongings a distressing task. Trying to arrange for this before you’ve had time to heal can be overwhelming.
