If your husband/wife were to die, would you want to stay living in your current home or move somewhere else? Would the existence of children have any impact on your decision? What if money were not an issue? And let's assume they did not die in the house.
I'm not married but if I were I'd stay in the house unless I really had a reason to move.

Well if my husband is about to die, I would stay with him up to his last day on earth. I believe taht that would be the time taht he will be needing me and the kids. We will be wityh him and will make his last day on earth very much happy. I will show him how much i love him... I will give him the best wife that he could ever have.

i really do not know,having children may make me want to stay the shook of losing they're father would be so hard i don't know if i would make them go through the fact of changing houses.I suppose it also depends on the age of the children.
But if i feel happy living there and felt that the house kept some sort of attachement to my husband i think i would stay.

I think widows/widowers make the decision to stay or move for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes the decision isn't about feeling weird about staying there. Sometimes they can no longer afford the house or just can't continue with upkeep because of health reasons. Also if a person moved to an area because of a spouse's job transfer, and have no other family there, they might move to be around familiar people.
