You have suffered an enormous loss with the loss of your house. Of course you're grieving.

51 years and 4 months is longer, way longer, than most marriages!

It will take time, and effort, if you want to expend it, to get used to your new dwelling.

Give yourself that time.

See what happens.

Of course it will never be the same...

But that doesn't mean it couldn't be good...
