@jude07 It is a tough decision When my husband died I kept my house as long as I could we had his families old house so 10 rooms we used all 10 but after he died and I got tired of cutting 3acres it was all to much so I threw out 4 loads of garbage in dumbstet from garbage man tagged for sale ,give always,donation and sale. Moved into a mobile home this was in Pa. Now I'm in CA where my son and his family are Yes I was apprehensive but surprised how easy it was to make friends hardest was finding bank@medical so it was a good move for me since Im78 now with physical problems .It's good to be near family now. Hope this helped
