Empty Nest Grief

“Empty nest syndrome refers to the distress and other complicated emotions that parents often experience when their children leave home… parents may feel lonely, sad, and have some degree of grief when their children leave the nest, whether it’s to live on their own, start a college career, or pursue their own relationships. Women normally suffer more than men do, and feelings of sadness may be more pronounced among stay-at-home parents whose lives were organized around meeting the everyday needs of their children.” “Empty Nest Syndrome” Psychology Today I invite you to consider these questions: When your “nest” emptied, how do you experience feeling lonely? How did you experience feeling sad? How did you experience feeling loss, longing, or feeling lost? Which identities are you grieving the loss of?
