I am wondering if any other parents are
experiencing this or will be.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term
it is when your children (adult) are ready
to discover the world on their own without
their parents, in other words they are
going to be moving out of the house that
has been their home.
How are you coping?

I still have a child at home - but I do
remember how hard it was to let go when my
son moved out. To go from caring for this
child his whole life to not being
connected to him on a daily basis was
really hard.
Finding things to keep you occupied, to
take up your time, are good to fill that
void. New hobbies, new traditions, new
daily schedule. This is your time for you
now. Enjoy it!
