I have faith that you will make it your own, with new friends. If not, you can change your plans. It will take some time, but you have a vibrant personality and people love to be around you.

One of the things I have learned about you is that you are a woman of incredible strength. You've shown that in every aspect of your life. Each little spot there needs a new baptism...something new added or a new memory created, so your spirit can fully reclaim this place you have worked for, and dreamed, and make it YOURS.

Take time to grieve, but I bet you know in your heart you made the right choices. We can't control the goofy choices of others. Glad you have friends coming. That is win/win in my book.

I agree with others that grief delayed must be dealt with and you'll do it. You've been so busy finishing your work life. Retirement is itself a big change and it takes awhile to get your rhythm. Get a routine going there and ease into it. I enjoy your blog so much and your photography is gorgeous.

Now that you have stopped working and have time to reflect, the feelings will come to the surface and the healing can begin.
