Should I leave hospice work, choir, and the garden I've tended for 34 years to move in with my son?
I am seventy one years old and I have lived in this house for thirty four years. My husband and I planted an entire garden together before he passed, and I have hardly changed a stone of it since. For the last six years I have also volunteered three days a week at Willowbrook Hospice, sitting with people in their last hours, which has become the most important thing I do with my time. My son (44M) called last week and asked me to move to Arizona to live with him and his wife (41F) and their two boys. He wants to build a small suite onto their house so I am never alone. He is worried about me, especially since I fell in the garden last spring and did not tell anyone for two days because I did not want to be a bother. Part of me knows he is right to worry. But leaving would mean giving up the hospice patients who count on me, the choir I have sung in for twenty years, and a garden that still feels like it belongs to both my husband and me. I keep thinking of the verse about a time to plant and a time to uproot, and I honestly do not know which season this is. He is waiting for my answer and I have been putting it off for a week now.
