    Good choices on the lights. Make time to do a little family farewell ceremony as you leave your old house... thanking it, freeing it to be a happy home for the new owners. Will give you a sense of peace and finality. Then do a family welcome in the new home. May seem silly but you'll be surprised how meaningful it will be.
