The hardest part about considering to move is leaving my 7 kids and 13 grandchildren. How do you make the break?

It may NOT be time to leave your home and family. If you are not comfortable here, that could be a sign. This place is a wonderful place for many, but not for all.
There is no hurry. There will be homes if and when you change your mind.
It may be hard to invite a bunch of strangers to your home first, but I did and it worked out very well. I just knocked on the doors of the folks who lived around us and said to come for coffee at two the next day and went and got too many coffee cakes at Publix and people came and we got to know each other.
In any club or meeting, usually if you say, I am new here, folks are so eager to help you feel comfortable.
But if the real thing is your large and loved family, don't leave them.
Or perhaps buy a smaller home for part time.
