Caregiving taking its toll: Stage 4 Glioblastoma & Lymphoma

@saintdijo I think this could be a great idea. Will your daughter be able to help you with all the planning? Maybe you could go with him ahead of time, get him settled, and then return to sell the house. Just thinking about all the chaos that goes with selling and moving. (I’ve probably moved 30+ times in my life!). And you’re smart to decide to make a move while you can! Good advice for all of us. You’re a very strong and courageous woman!
What do you think will be the hardest part of this move for you and your husband?

Courageous not really…biting the bullet better term…I decided a month or so ago these choices were no longer ‘his choices’ to make…wasn’t able to. At the same time ‘taking care of myself’ was a need - not just for him.
The hardest part of this move is probably selling off all 19 years of ‘stuff’! Also preparing hubby mentally/physically for across the country trip….I can only DO IT - am unable to prepare for the WHAT IF’S until it occurs (too mind boggling of what could or could not happen). The ‘what if’s can tear your mind & life to shreds - don’t bother - give it to the Lord instead.
I am listing the house as furnished so as I don’t need to move any of it….sellers could have a huge ‘garage sale’ if don’t want - might say they could recover some of ‘their $$$’s on the purchase’….which I hope happens. Second option ‘estate sale’!
Is it scary? Sure! I am no longer that spry chicken any more but am still ready (and wiser now) to tackle the world…..
