Notes from Dr. E...regarding Empty Nesters

Mixed emotions abound when our kids leave home, and it can feel like an overwhelming experience. Feelings may range from joy and pride in your collective  accomplishments of helping your child get to this point in life to sadness and grief of feeling like you are losing a child and worry and fear about your child’s safety and welfare. All of these emotions have merit and are to be honored and acknowledged. However, wanting to address some of the more painful emotions can feel difficult. Here are some tips to help you help you gracefully move through this time of your life.

  • Know that this is a process, and give yourself some time to feel.
  • Recreate your marriage and/or renew other relationships and activities
  • Set some goals for this next stage of life
  • Set up a communication schedule with your kids
  • Focus on the positive and other milestones in life. Life can happen to you or for you. You make the call.
  • Also keep in mind that just because your child leaves the home doesn’t mean you stop being a parent.
