It'll take time. I'd say here it took several months to total settle in. (HUGS) to you all. Moving is so hard, on kids and adults. It’ll take time.

She has no context for it, no matter how much you explain. OD is gone, dawg is gone, how could she not be scared of the empty house? Poor sprite. It will get better, of course, and then you can truly fall apart. Mom always has to wait. I can't wait until OD gets to help house-hunt in Alaska, where she gets to go into a new place you are hoping to buy and pick her own room, decide what color it will be. We'll have to look for rodeo decals for the walls. it is so difficult to get through this stuff. She has no context for it, no matter how much you explain.

Moving isn't real until the house is empty. Nothing like it. I did it often. I hated it. But she'll move on. And reassure her she will be coming back often - after all granny is there. THAT Will make a huge difference. But its going to be rough and tough on you all for a while. Its hard. Moving isn’t real until the house is empty. Nothing like it. I did it often. I hated it.

Poor Dotter. This must be so hard on her. Has she been able to express her abondonment concerns in words? Have you been able to just cuddle and talk about it? Sigh.. that is rough It’s okay to cry!
