She just has trouble with change in general where I just feel every new home is a chance to start fresh even now at 66.
I embrace change where my wife dreads it. So moving is an emotional process for her.
I'm on my 3rd lake house on 3 different lakes and although I have fond memories of the first two I love the one I have now.
Everyone is different so you have to take that into consideration when there are multiple siblings involved.
I think one of the hardest parts of a home change (vacation or primary) is letting go of old friends and making new friends, especially as you get older. It takes some work.
And with COVID it can slow that process down.
