Book Description

Leaving for a new home is an exciting and emotional time. If you find it challenging to manage the rollercoaster of emotions that come with moving away from loved ones, you aren't alone. In this book, you will get honest insights into the joys and struggles of leaving for a new home. Brooke shares mindset shifts and tips for making it work by openly sharing her own personal experiences and epiphanies. She shares why it is so common to feel alone in your struggles, that you aren't selfish for moving away, and that there is so much to look forward to. Whether moving out of state or to a completely different country, leaving a long-time home takes bravery and even more emotional preparation than practical planning - especially if dealing with unsupportive loved ones. When Brooke and her husband decided to move far away from their hometown, they had no idea how much this major decision would change every aspect of their lives - from relationships to personal beliefs and habits. Or that it would be the first of many other life-changing moves. In this book, Brooke shares insights into: Dealing with feelings of fear about moving away. How to address the guilt related to wanting to leave. The unexpected benefits of seeking your own path. Addressing loved ones who are upset by the move. Maintaining friendships and pursuing new ones. Learning to see missing someone as a good thing. Plus, some practical tips for managing the logistics. Moving Away is meant for anyone who is considering or planning a big move, has already left and is struggling with the emotional side of being away, or even for someone trying to understand why a loved one would want to move away from home. This book will challenge you to look at the realities of what a move would actually mean, consider different viewpoints, and ask yourself the hard questions.
