We got our parents to downsize a few years before our father died. He had been ill for some time, and we didn't want our mother rattling around in the old family home alone. For years, she said they shouldn't have moved, but we all need to plan for our older years at some point.
Are you able to look forward rather than looking back?

Don’t worry we all make mistakes
I haven’t your problem but I can totally understand it as I live in a totally inappropriate house but I love it and don’t want to let go

I’m still homesick two years after moving house and it’s causing me great anxiety and depression. I can’t stop thinking about our old house and wishing we’d stayed there - it was our home for 40 years. Has anyone been in a similar situation and overcome it?
