Clearing out and closing down the 3-generation family home my grandparents put up 70 years ago. The developer's bulldozers come for it in 20 days. It is a death in the family, an uphill slog of sadness, grief, and trauma.
Dan, I am sorry to hear about your struggles. Seems like it happens to all of us sooner or later in life one way or another, no matter what kind of shoes we are wearing.
