Heather, Take some photos of the stuff you want to sell and put in on Craig's List, as well as other mediums. I noticed that we have a number of people selling college books on there. You can do this with a lot of your stuff and it won't cost you a penny to post the items. A yard sale is in order too...do it as soon as possible.
I'm sorry your h didn't send a card to your daughter. It's just not right. I'm sure she's struggling with the idea of the move because this is the only home that she's ever known. Once she gets settled in a new place, she will be okay. It takes time and right now, everything is a jumbled mess for her, as well as for you.
My main concern for you is that you've been your own "boss" for many years as a homeschool teacher and can set your own hours and if you didn't feel like doing something that day, you can postpone it. In the world of business, you are going to find that your wings may be clipped just a little bit and not have as much freedom as you once had. But, I do think you will do just fine once the dust settles and you get into a routine.
The what ifs are going to drive you crazy. You need to put them aside because you've been on your own for a long time and everything will fall into place once you get there. What's the word on a place to live? That would be my concern right now.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
