3. My partner's stepfather and mother, 18 months ago, sold their acreage and home they loved dearly.

They both cried when they sold their little cottage in the woods.

They did it so the survivor wouldn't have to "go through it on their own" or "live out there all alone"

We just just buried the stepfather. He was 80 and she is 68.

We feel so much better about her being "in town" just blocks from the sisters (we are three hours away).

It turns out it was the right move.

I can only imagine how hard it must be for you but it seems like you know it's the right thing to do.
