Letting go of house

I sold the house that l inherited from a very loved friend and even though l know l did the right thing on paper in selling it , l cannot go past the house or even visit the friends l made who lived by her and knew her. I tend her grave and find comfort from it but her house is another matter . Is this normal? This was someone l really cared for and looked upon her as my mother .

You'll still have your treasured memories of your friend whether you own the house or not,yes?
Enjoy the money in the way she obviously wanted you to. The memories mean more than some bricks and mortar, and will be with you all your life.
I hope this helps you. I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

Sometimes these things can take a long time to be able to face with a smile instead of sadness. Don't try and rush it, it is what it is.

Yes. Sold thebold family hohse last year. I moved out over 20 years ago but its still a wrench to think it's not ours. I've been past but have declined an invitation to go back.
