Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

This is a major life change which will take time to process and so there aren’t any magic ways to get over it overnight, but there are ways to make it easier.

I’m not clear if you have already picked the retirement community. But if you haven’t, I would consider the moving/adjustment assistance it will provide in the decision. Some do more than others as part of the process and some provide extra pay services like down-sizing expertise and hands-on help. If already committed to a community, I would learn of and plan to use all of their relevant services.

I would ask my daughter or another trusted person to further help with investigating the available services.

Actually our daughter and her husband have done almost everything. I believe the problem is my total loss of control and how quickly things are happening. I always knew something like this would happen, however all this has occurred since Nov 1st and we be moved by 16 Jan. Not leaving the house in condition to sell, just a lot of details I would like to handle myself and being given no chance to do so. I know they are doing what they believe best but it has kind of thrown me for a loop since we are leveling an area we retired to 32 years ago. Not sure how I will handle all this.
