The Last time you moved

Was it pure hell or what? It has been a month for me, and I still wonder how I did it. Sold and bought a house at same time. Had to pack and throw away many years of stuff. Yes, it was worth it, but damn it was hard in so many ways.

I understand. I had to move out of a 1 bedroom apt. I'd lived in for 28 years plus stuff in a storage locker inherited from my parents...into 1 room in a rooming house. I was not well at the time, in the midst of eye surgeries, in my early 70s and had NO help of any kind. It was rough. It is truly wrenching to have to part with things and memorabilia of a lifetime. Serious downsizing is one of the hardest things to do. I had a relapse of the illness I'd been fighting, and I am still recovering a year later.
