campolady Posted May 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) As some people on here know, Hubby has poor health. Well, this is deteriorating and we have finally decided that, much as we absolutely love our life here in inland Andalucía, we have to move to the coast where we are on bus routes as it doesn' t look as though Ians driving licence will be renewed next time and I don't drive. House has today gone on the market (with the state of the property market here we will probably be still trying to sell in 5 years time!) and our road trip next week is going to be a potential re-location search rather than a holiday. I know that I am being stupid, but I feel totally gutted and sometimes it is easier to offload emotions to relative strangers as on here than to people closer to home. Sorry to be such a misery but, please, wish us luck as we need it in bucketfulls! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

It is such a stressful time moving home, I know. We downsized 9 years ago and I said "Never again:rolleyes:" Try to look on the bright side. You will be close to the sea and nearer to Malaga if Thomson decide to run more cruises from there :) Big hugs to you and your husband xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakanne1 Posted May 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sending Hugs. I do understand how upset you must feel at having to change your home and lifestyle but perhaps you will be able in time to look at it more positively and come to terms with it and be happier than you are feeling now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julessmiles Posted May 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wishing you all the luck with the selling, searching & moving Brenda & sorry to hear this. I am sure it has been a hard decision. At least you are able to stay in the sunshine in Spain and like Linda says you will be near the sea - sea air is always good for your health. Best wishes to you both xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberCascades Posted May 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2014 {{{{Brenda}}}}} Bunch of hugs. I hope everything works out well with the sale of your house. I'm sure you'll bounce back and everything will turn out for the best. But it's okay to be upset about it for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeholiday2 Posted May 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Big hugs Brenda. Hope things work out alright, sometimes these things occur for a reason and you come out of the other end of the tunnel better than you anticipated. We moved from one northern town to another 5 years ago, I didn't want to move but had to for family reasons. Looking back now, I am so glad we did. Don't find and fall in love with a place on the coast before you know you have sold your old house, you would feel worse then. Just check the areas next week, and have a lovely trip. Joe.

SuzyPaulB Posted May 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Big hugs Brenda. It must feel awful today, but hopefully your road trip will remove you from some of your worries, even though you are looking for new places to live! Sometimes just leaving our own walls even for a little while gives a lift of spirits. Suzy x Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campolady Posted May 15, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wow! Thank you all! When we came out of the Consultants surgery this morning I felt at rock bottom but, thanks to all your posts of support, I am sure that we can make a bright future for as long as we have left together. Thanks again - and I apologise for being such a misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzseeka Posted May 16, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 16, 2014 So sorry that things are looking rather bleak at the moment - it's a very upsetting and unsettling time for you. I do hope that things begin to slot into place for you so that you can begin to look forward and things look more positive. I hope the house sale goes well and that you find somewhere lovely by the coast. Perhaps this will be a new chapter which I hope will bring you unexpected treasures. Good luck and my very best wishes to you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomagot Posted May 16, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I am so sorry to hear this life is rich, it has a habit of putting us into all sorts of situations and circumstances....some of them can be quite challenging i would like to hold your hand and say to you....'you will get through this' {{hugs}} yes, sometimes, it can be difficult to discuss how you really feel with those closest to you... even to yourself keep talking, keep reaching out, its one of the best things you can do (especially when you are reeling from your feelings)…even on an anonymous forum there will be others who care, who understand, who can (and will) support you (and those people are nearly always available) and above all, dont forget to take care of yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
