Update: The house was sold in January 2022.  It’s taken a while to accept it’s gone.  Sometimes I walk through the rooms in my mind and remember what was.  I’m on a new road and have no idea where it will lead.   I’ll check in next June with an update.  Today I’m in a hotel in Philly visiting with my daughter.  Sunday I will travel back to RI and then on to Central MA to my rental.

Thank you again all of you. Wind your words resonated with me so deeply.  I feel stronger everyday and understand my thoughts, feelings and beliefs about the house come from a deeper place. A holding on place, fear of dying place, a respect for my aunt and for the original owner who built the place in 1850. I understand I have nothing really in this life and the place has kept me as I desired. Time to move through time. Again, appreciate your kindness. I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the kind words.  I feel there is a lot to navigate and the feedback from all of you had helped me tremendously. I didn’t cry today which was a relief.  Lets see what tomorrow will bring. I’m packing up so that a video can be made so the broker can begin the process of selling. As I was packing up, weeding through “the stuff” I felt a bit lighter. I’m scared, sad, heartbroken and fearful of what lies ahead. I will keep you posted. I really appreciate you all taking the time to connect with me.
