After Maureen loses her husband, her son encourages her to move closer to him and his family. So, she packs up her entire life and moves into a neighborhood closer to him. But as she gets settled, she realizes that the people are not as friendly as they seem. Can Maureen win them over, or should she move again?Imagine finding yourself in the twilight of your life, in a new place — without your husband of 50 years. Recently, William, my husband, passed away, leaving me in our huge house in Virginia. I’ve been around for a long time, and I’ve had my heart broken by many things. But nothing prepares you for losing your spouse.
“Mom, please,” my son, Mark, said on the phone. “I need you to consider moving. Just come and be closer to us — the kids will love having you here.” “I don’t want to lose my independence, Son,” I said. “Your father and I promised not to get involved in your life like that.” “You don’t have to live with me,” he chuckled.
