When Do You Act?

After a near death experience (years before cancer diagnosis) happening at the same time as my mom's death, I waited 8 months before moving across the state to a town where I knew no one. I'd lived in the same place for 48 years so it was a really big deal but it turned out to be the best thing I ever did for myself. Fun fact--I had a job in the new place but it folded within a couple of months and I had to make the decision to stay or go and I chose to STAY. Happy I did. To be honest, I probably would have moved sooner if I could have--but I think it is an individual decision. Susan

I had a friend tell me he had planned on waiting a year after the death of his wife of 50 years . Then on one cold New England day he was sitting in his sun room some 5 months later. Looking at the snow blowing sideways in his backyard he booked a flight to FL. Met up with a bud, bought a piece of property and then built a house. He still has a home in CT + FL and he is as happy as a clam being a FL resident . Moving into a new area and not knowing anyone one has to be a challenge. How did you do that one??

I think it really all depends. I know some people who can't be alone and have gotten into relationships a bit too soon after. I think that bucket list is fitting what you want to do and experience and put the goals into action. Best!
