My client Mary’s story is a testament to the profound bonds of family and the courage to embrace new beginnings.
Thirteen years ago, my team and I stood by her side as Mary bid farewell to her family home in San Jose. She loved the life the moved afforded her, but after more than a decade, she was ready to make another change. Reaching out to us once again, we jumped at the chance to help her with this newest pivotal moment in her life.
In her new chapter, Mary wanted to leave behind her cherished home in Gilroy and unite with her three adult children and beloved grandchildren in Oregon. Her decision was rooted in love and the longing for familial closeness, especially after the passing of her husband five years prior.
Mary’s heart, however, was also deeply connected to a special cause: fostering special needs children. Her commitment to these remarkable souls, including her special daughter-like foster child in a local facility, was unwavering. The prospect of parting with that relationship was absolutely heart-wrenching for her, but as the years gracefully added up, Mary acknowledged the importance of proximity to her own growing family and her own evolving needs.
The Bay Area, once teeming with friends and kin, had become a place of memories. Mary found herself among the few who remained, a solitary figure in a landscape that had transformed with time.
Her decision to move was more than a geographical shift, it was a testament to resilience, love, and the unbreakable ties that bind a family together—and her bravery in embracing change is an inspiration, reminding us all of the immeasurable value of family closeness, especially as life’s journeys continue.
As Mary sets out on this new path, our commitment to ensuring her transition is seamless and her memories of Gilroy are cherished remains. If you or someone you know is considering a similar transition, let’s navigate this journey together.
Sincerely,
Julie
