Our parents' house is not just a collection of walls, a roof, and a foundation ; it is the main stage of our history. Every corner is imbued with memories: laughter in the living room, family meals in the kitchen, the height mark on the doorframe that no one remembers making. Selling it means facing the idea that we can never return to that space as we know it, or that its essence will be completely transformed by new owners. The difficulty, which sometimes paralyzes the decision to sell, rests on three fundamental emotional pillars that deserve to be named and understood in order to manage them.
The grief for what was and what will no longer be
In many cases, the decision to sell the family home is made after a significant and profound change: the need for parents to move to a place more suitable for their new needs or, sadly, after their passing. It is completely normal to feel a complex mix of sadness, melancholy, guilt, or even anger. Questions may arise such as: "Are we betraying their memory by selling their house? What would they think if they were here?". Understanding that love and family history are not measured in square meters is key to freeing the property from this heavy emotional burden.
Attachment to material things is a very strong human connection. Furniture and objects are "anchors" that link us sensorially to the past. Emptying the house is perhaps the most emotionally costly part, which is why we advise approaching it in stages, like a ritual of farewell and selection. The most valuable memories are not in the walls, but in the stories you preserve.
And it is in this context of grief and detachment that 'morriña' emerges, that deep nostalgia. More than just sadness, it is the longing for the unconditional affection and security that home represented. When 'morriña' makes the decision difficult, it is vital to refocus the perspective: selling the house does not erase history, but transforms the legacy. It is an act of love that frees the space for a new life, allowing us to look toward the future with the peace of mind of having made the best decision for the family's well-being.
