The empty nest often brings the perfect storm of emotions that big transitions entail! Unlike other transitions you have experienced such as getting married, or becoming a mother, this one does not have a single date that marks its beginning. While it may start when your youngest child leaves for college, it is a process that emerges.
Children will return for vacations and summers, and even in growing numbers to live with you after college. The true empty nest occurs over several years and perhaps longer. However, there is something undeniable about bringing the youngest to college, or having them move out to pursue a career, that begins a new stage a life.
Women experience the empty nest with a wide range of emotional reactions. Some have been waiting with excitement, while others are flooded with dread. Many will be filled with mixed feelings. The changes we experience as empty nesters and midlife women run deep.
