I can truly relate to your situation. Three years ago we had to give up our 3-bedroom home and move into a 2-bedroom apartment. It was difficult for me to decide what to get rid of and what to keep, but dear friends helped me make the difficult decisions. I'm enjoying living on the first floor though, with NO STAIRS, which had become very problematic for me. Our son and his family live nearby, but I wish we could spend more time with them and our DGD, but they are busy with their work, Zoe, their home and my son starting nursing school next week. They help when they can and it doesn't hurt that there is a plaza right across the street with pharmacy, grocery store and bank. There are pluses and minuses with every move, but try to look at it as a new beginning for you both. God bless.
