My husband died a year ago. I have a 27 Yr old and 24 Yr old. We have all grieved. I feel ready to embrace life and want to live it to the full. I have been travelling and have come back with a plan to sell the family home and move 11/2 hours away to a happening town surrounded by beautiful countryside.
It's been a bombshell for my 2! I understand that they've lost their dad, and they feel they're losing me too. However, I need to move on. But, I'm now having doubts! My friends are close by, but I am planning to come back once a week to stay with my daughter and catch up with everyone. My daughter worries about when I'm older. Will I still want to do the drive? Will I be too isolated? Who knows? I'm 62yrs now and full of enthusiasm and energy for a change.
I feel emotionally torn. Grandchildren might come soon, and I won't beable to be as involved. My daughter says this isn't what she'd envisioned. She thought I'd downsize to a little terraced house around the corner.
Any insights welcome!
