How thoughtful and caring. It is a heartbreaking decision not talken lightly. My mother, some years ago, blamed me because I encouraged her to sell her home. She was in her 80's as well.
The Village had sited her home for repairs needed. I was there when the two inspectors came to talk with her. While there, they found even more violations; I had tried to encourage her for quite some time to sell the house.
One of the men from the village offered to buy her home after she said something like "If someone would buy this house for at least $$$$, I would sell it . I encouraged her to accept the offer. She did.
Your mother will eventually come around. Just knowing you are nearby will become very important to her.
(p.s. Debi...sorry for spelling your name incorrectly at the top.)
