WH, there are so many losses. I realize that I'm trying to avoid another one by holding onto my home. It absolutely makes good financial sense, but I'm also not ready to move on. One day I will be, but not yet. There are so many memories here. It's the only home my kids have known. I think of all of their developmental stages, the marks on the wall that chart their growth and the mile stones reached by all four of us. H doesn't understand. His ability to emotionally connect is absent, likely due to neglect and trauma during childhood.
WH, I'm so sorry for your losses. I understand how painful it is to look at your ring. I put mine on a few weeks ago, just for a few minutes. Receiving my ring, planning the wedding and looking forward to a life together was such a joyful time. I can't imagine ever feeling that way again.
