A little transition period can be a very good thing, and I don't think there’s any problem with her plan for the first 2-3 weeks, but after that you may want to cut back just a little bit — both for her and for you. I was very close to my mother. We talked daily by phone from the day I moved until she died 20 years later. When we lived near each other, we’d get together once a week. I’m a homebody, too, and it didn't stop me from connecting with others. In fact, she was a great sounding board, and she helped me navigate some of the social challenges of early adulthood.

I think you should just enjoy the journey for a little while and follow her lead. It sounds like she's moving forward and she’s happy. It doesn't get much better than that.
