Thanks, Oak. I know it will be fine, but for some reason, I am having this strong reaction, kind of like when DS enlisted. Part of it, I think is, being precipitated from the move. Although I fully agreed with the decision, right now, I kind of feel like I am being sealed in my casket, i.e. the last move (well, maybe assisted living), in a small space. I do not like that feeling at all! I've always been a deny-er of getting old, mostly because people in my family have aged well, even when they had "things," especially my dad.
I also see what you saw, in my clients who may have to re-invent themselves. I've found that when I say it in terms of finding something that helps you be true to your values, it resonates with them, and helps them move forward with thinking about something different. I mostly worry about the $... I've never been too involved with DH's career stuff. But, even when he tells me that most people would kill to be in our position, I still worry.
