From people who came through it
“A note for the next person. Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. The worst part was her room. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.”
mossspring1966 · 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.”
starlamp17 · been through empty nest“The quiet is the hardest part at first. I am only a few months ahead of you. For me, the first weeks I just sat and listened to the clock. Then I started going to the charity shop and that gave me a reason to get up. I also walk. Every day. It does not fix it but it helps. Your child will come home and then leave again, and that is okay. You will find a new rhythm. It is slow, but it comes.”
Steady Puffin · been through empty nest“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.”
