My husband died in an accident two years ago. My daughter had just started Uni. I have twin boys now 17. One is about to leave home for uni and the other taking a Gap year as has had depression since his dads death. We have a big house (too big for me to continue managing alone) and my neighbours are not friendly although I still try so hard to get to know them and am always openly friendly to them. Friends have kind of deserted us after about 6 months of my husbands death. So therefore very isolated, menopausal, empty nesting and widowed. No family around here also.
Should I relocate to Devon and have a better quality of life...walks with my dogs, beaches, new friends, I feel such a strong pull to be there. It will be a big upheaval (again) and could be a massive mistake. I am lost to know what is best, any advice would be welcome xx
