From people who came through it
“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“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“It is hard when they leave. The silence is loud. I know. I felt it too. You will cry. You will feel lost. That is normal. But you will find new things. I started painting again. I do nails for the neighbours. It is not the same. But it is something. Find your something. And call your children. They miss you too. They are just busy living. You will get through this. I promise.”
Ayşe O · been through empty nest“If you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Mine was setting the table for four. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. x”
