Sell or get rid of absolutely everything you don’t need first.

I tried, Lord did I try, but the wife wanted none of it. I made plenty of trips to Goodwill to dump a lot of stuff, but there was still way too much she wanted to keep.

“but there was still way too much she wanted to keep”

I struggled with this. My ex was a packrat, at least. Borderline hoarder.

I just went through everything, and I do mean everything. That which had not been used in over a year was sold, donated or went to the dump.

It was very difficult to rid myself of stuff that still had value and utility, but I did it. And I’m far happier I did.
