Succession Planning

Twin Falls, ID|Apr 3, 2025
My husband and I have just transitioned our farms and dairies operations control to our daughter and her husband beginning January 1, 2025
We are 3 months in to this new era of life and I’m so lost, there has been conflict between me and my husband and our daughter and her husband.
I just want everyone to be happy.
I have very deep grief over my new freedom.

Sorry to hear that, farm transition is a tricky business. I know of one resource for farm informed counselling that has counsellors licensed in the US as well as Canada, if that is something of interest. We find that most of the farmers reaching out for support in our network here in Alberta, Canada are in a similar situation as you described, and seem to benefit from working with our counsellors.
You can try this : https://nfmha.ca/how-we-help/psychotherapy/ the National Farm Mental Health Alliance specializes in farm informed counselling services and have options through out North America. I know Lauren (owner and mastermind) personally and she has her heart in the right place.
You might want to reach out to Elaine Froese. She’s really good at this stuff.
