From people who came through it
“Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Back then it was my husband and I with nothing to say. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Keep going, even slowly.”
Aya V. · been through empty nest“For anyone new to this: I was right where you are a few years back. My youngest left for college in September, and I couldn't see past it. I went on vacation in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.”
Elijah S. · been through empty nest“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember my husband and I with nothing to say like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.”
Jasmine Ye · been through empty nest“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was setting the table for four. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.”
