I want to be moved by Easter. Mom is now saying by May, but I’m sure we’ll be spending most of our time at the new house before May. She is 90 yo & has lived in our current town for the last 70 years & attended the same church (she/dad were charter members). The majority of her friends are connected to the church - most are now widows or in very poor health. The last meeting of the church ladies group before the summer break is in May & that’s when she plans on telling them she’s moving away. I pretty much have to move at her ‘speed’ .... she’s in good health, very active, but mentally getting more fragile & dad dying just tore her world apart, understandably.
Good that you are able to take the necessary time, and the change will be gradual. Then your mom can acclimate. She surely doesn’t need another shock.
And Spring will be springing!
