Lost my parents within 2 years of each other. I'm an only child.

@queenb56 I am sorry you lost your parents so close to each other. I did also, they died 13 months apart. When Mom passed I was 66 years old, and I felt like an orphan! I do have a sister who now owns the house we grew up in. My parents bought it in 1958. She and her husband renovated the entire house and moved in. I don’t know how they felt about moving in there, but we are happy to have kept the house in the family.
I suggest that you take your time settling in to your home. You’ve taken steps to make it your own. Maybe there are a few other ways you could put your touch on the house.
Best wishes

I lost both parents 13 months apart too! Life isn't the same once they're gone. I do have one sibling left. My other sibling passed almost 6 years ago due to pancreatic cancer.

Thank you, glad your family were able to keep your family home. I kept a few pieces if my parents furniture. Updated a few chandeliers and hung them in other rooms. My taste are more country casual, I have a hard time reconciling the big difference it makes in each room. I never lived in this house my parents built it after I had already married and had a child. Never thought I would live here. I want to make it mine, it's just hard.
