Bought a new house

[MichaelPRoss]

I lost my wife in January and recently bought a new and moved. I move right in the middle of all the kids. To not overwhelm the kids I packed up everything myself. I could not myself to to get rid of her things. I did put them in boxes and store them in the attic. When decorating I was respectful without making it a shrine to my wife and mother. I know this is moving forward not moving on so why do I still feel guilty??

I moved 3 times after my wife's death.First i lived 3 years alone but now I live with my parents. I am 58 and they are already old but healthy. We lived in a rural area.Last month  we rent a new apartment at the town and we  are very happy together. I only miss my beloved Rosana but I am sure I will find her in Heaven

Dear brother. It's normal to feel guilty. I also feel guilty because she is not there to share the new apartment. Hope you can feel happy in your new house.

This is similar to an article I found after my husband died...

Unfortunately, that's not the easiest question to answer. Much of it relies on your reasons for selling your home and buying a new one. Was this a choice that had to be made or was your decision based on moving closer to your kids? This is a topic that was brought up quite recently here....
