This isn’t an easy time, but you know this and bravely accept the challenges of transition and change. Facing the empty nest honestly puts you in a great position to learn from the experience. It’s enormously important that you know you aren’t losing a child. Instead, you just won front row seats to a most magnificent performance. You are watching your child turn into a young adult.
This can be a time of tremendous growth for you as a person. Get excited about your new horizons, just as your child grows enchanted with his or her brave new world. Follow your impulses – Be spontaneous. Discover new interests or return to passions that have lain dormant.
