i am thinking about moving into my fathers house .he passed last may,but i really am not sure how i feel there, one moment i will feel so comforted,and the next feel so sad there.i just wanted to know if anyone here has moved into a parents house (after they had passed)and if they felt as i do when they moved in.if so which of the feelings stayed with them the comforted feeling or the sad feeling...im afraid i may make a mistake either way,we are going to sell his home if i dont move there.so i may not have too long to decide...we have tried renting and it is just too much trouble and work they did not take care of it...and we do not want to leave it sitting empty...any advice would be appreciated...thanks

Yes, I have moved into the house my parents shared and raised their children. I won't tell you it is easy. My first few months. It was so hard. I cried, and cried. Everywhere I turned I saw my mom. My husband was so supportative. He helped changed the house. We moved out there furniture and moved in ours. And the house began to have a new look. Today, 10 years later, it is such a special blessing to me. I look at it as a gift from my parents and as I raise my family with new memories, a smile is there, knowing my mom is smiling as the family grows.
