I did this! After my husband died, I thought about what to do with my life. Two years later, I retired at 63 and moved across the country to a place that makes me happy. My adult children are still back East, but I'm in a large enough city that I can get there, or they can get here, without connecting flights. I'm writing and meeting new people and getting involved with my new community. And sometimes I just relax and dream. It's my time and I love it.

People with a dependent partner, a husband, for example, won’t be able to have this opportunity of second sacrifice. The inspiration is admirable though.
