Dispatches from Angst-Land

Our moving day is coming up like a freight train. All of my kids are taking it pretty well, but it's still such a time of upheaval. My 6-year-old is confused and upset about her big sister going off to college. My college-age girl is a little traumatized by her whole family moving just as she's leaving home for the first time—it's one thing to leave, and another to not have your old room waiting for you, right? I'd love to hear from all of you about how you've helped your kids through a big move.
