Parent's Guide to Empty Nest Syndrome

Attention all mamas navigating the #EmptyNestSyndrome! Check out my latest blog post where I share 12 ways to positively handle the transition and reclaim this new chapter!

When we’re in the thick of it, we can’t imagine that the day will come when we’ll be empty nesters. We might even completely deny that empty nest syndrome will one day arrive. Ladies, it’s time to pour yourself a glass of wine (or two), and grab a box of tissues. Go ahead and cry it out. That time comes sooner than we think! This blog started when I had another decade ahead of me before any of my…

If you're feeling a little blue after your kids move out, you're not alone. It's normal to feel sad, lonely, and even lost when your children leave home. But if these feelings don't go away after a few weeks or start to interfere with your daily life, you may be experiencing empty nest syndrome.

Monday was a little #bittersweet. The #hickory #hawk went to its new #home. 🦅🏡 I honestly couldn’t be happier though, its new home is #perfect. A #beautiful #house and #property. Way more fitting than my #weird living room. 😂 but since I’m now #hawkless, I’m suffering a bit from #emptynestsyndrome (ha!). So started working on the NEXT hawk. I still need #scissors. ✂️Hit me up if you have any. I’ll gladly pay and pay shipping. 💸 ••• ••• #welding #sculpture #raptor #art #craft #moremetalwelding #birdofprey #redtail #reuse #scissorhawk #salvage #reclaimed #metalworking #woodworking (at Carlisle, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw65NHlA-LF/?igshid=wspci8s2v6vd

My baby is only 7-year-old but I am feeling empty nest syndrome already? How different it was to the alternative ending EJ drew...

Thinking about the new phase of life I find myself in as my baby girl wraps up high school this year. And the new phase of life she gets to experience! It’s hard to imagine our home without her here right now and God knows I will miss her like crazy. At the same time I am so excited for her and as proud as I can be. @mckenzie_garrett you are so intelligent, witty, focused, and thoughtful. Your fierce independence gives me confidence that you will slay college life but I find myself seeking out those rare moments when you still need the encouragement of your family. I want you to know that I love you so much and I am fascinated to see how you will change the world. Because there’s no doubt that you are here to tilt this earth on its axis! #mybabygirl #2020graduate🎓 #iphase #youphase #nextphase #phasingup #phasingmeout #unphased #stillwhole #emptynestsyndrome #wheredidthetimego #iwantitback #now https://www.instagram.com/p/B6pQ0bilmA4/?igshid=adv4lbucx43y

Moms & Dads across the county are moving their youngest child into college this month. Have a little compassion for them at work as they maneuver the change in their life of not having kids at home for the first time in 18 or more years. #emptynesters #emptynest #emptynestmom #emptynestsyndrome #emptynestblessed #emptynesterlife #emptynester #emptynesterslife #emptynesting #emptynest #workplace #workplacewellness #management #compassion (at Rogers HR Consulting) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WUqemFdn9/?igshid=1ouzkvfwp8lfw

Learn to Discover Your True Self

Life is like a stage. You could be enacting any role that you want to. In fact, you do find yourselves playing many roles at the same time and playing none at a moment in your life. Life is strange yet exciting to experience. However, you will be able to discover life in its true sense only if you have discovered yourself to start with. Your spiritual essence that exists beyond this material reality is what you must open up to for adding onto another eternal dimension. In response to my ongoing blog posts and video talks on my book, ‘For the Love of Me’, I have been receiving many concerns, queries, and questions. One such question from a homemaker said, “I am a happy home maker, my children are grown up and have happily settled in their nests for their further studies and career growth. I have a lot of time, and do not know what to do exactly to feel contented. Most of the time I feel anxious about even small things. Please suggest something, so that I can make the most of my spare time.”

If I talk about aspirations, then here the homemaker has achieved all that a mother aspires for her child but now where does she go. Is she satisfied at the threshold she is standing? Is she contending with her life? Where is life actually taking her? At this stage, I would suggest that it is very important to learn letting go and finding the self. Most women who do not have a career so they dedicate their entire life to the well being of the husband and the children. And when they get busy, the woman suffers from what is called as “Empty Nest Syndrome”. Empty nest syndrome is nothing but a lonesome phase of life that most of the women experience after giving their children an open sky to explore their individual world of possibilities and opportunities. Children grow and start to create their own horizons but where do women stand? Talking about your children once they are happily settled in their respective lives, I would suggest,for the worry and anxiety, it is really helpful to believe that if and when there is any problem you would definitely get a call or message. So no call or message basically means all is well and they are happy with their life. If they are happy, then you too have a life to experience happiness and contentment. I would suggest this is the best thing to restart your life. Explore what all you have always wanted to do but never got an opportunity to start doing whatever you can. It can be as small as restarting with the painting that you left behind when you got married or traveling alone or with various travel groups like Kesrari and Veena world that even organise ladies special tours where you can not only see the world, enjoy but even make new friends.

So, embark upon a journey to find yourself.

So You’re Alone In The Nest. Now What?

image from pixabay.com

...

I’m about to lose my dream job. The job I was made for. A job that can’t be surpassed. A job that made me feel grateful every day, even on the hard days. You see, I’m being restructured out, so to speak.

My 17-year-old daughter is about to leave the nest, and this mother bird is feeling redundant. Not unlike many women who have prioritized home and family above career, I’VE LOST MYSELF.

I’ve watched friends and family go through ‘the big move out,’ but they were older when their kids left home. “Kids,” that’s plural! For them, there was a gradual letting go that seemed to ease them gently into retirement. Or, in some cases they were just glad to be rid of those little shhhhh-ugars.

I was in my mid-twenties when my daughter was born, and she’s an only child. There’s no easing into this for me. According to stats Canada, I was the average age of a new mother at the time (25 years old).  Having just one child has brought me to this stage 5-10 years earlier than most friends my age.  

And, who do you turn to when you lose your sense of direction? Friends. Friends who are likely traversing the same landscape. But what do you do when you suddenly realize you’re older than your friends? Not in age, but in experience as a parent.

Most of my friends were 30ish when they had their first child; so, they’re still in the midst of PTA meetings, hockey, dance, etc. There’s no time for them to anticipate or try to relate to the tsunami of emotions they’ll face when those pre-occupations end.

So, here I am at 44, realizing – not only am I about to be an empty nester – I’m about to be an EARLY empty nester!  How can I replace the role I’m suddenly being downsized from after 17 years?  I certainly don’t want to fall into the 10 percent of empty nesters who, according to the New York Times, never recover from their child leaving home.

The answer is, I can’t replace the job! Yet, I’m realizing that the job hasn’t ended entirely, it’s just changed. I’m still needed and still valued. But now there are parts of me that are free to explore new and endless possibilities.  The overwhelming question is: Where do I begin?

This blog is a good place to start. It’s a place to share my story and hear from others. I’ve decided to step out of the loneliness and into the pixels.  It would be wonderful if others join me on this journey. So, calling all early empty nesters! Let’s pool our feathers and flock together.

Five Experiences Early Empty Nesters Can Relate To:

You feel too old to be a Starbucks barista, but too young to be a Walmart greeter.

While you’re packing your kid up for university, your friends are lamenting trading bagged lunches for cafeteria change (been there done that - eye roll).

You’re in the demilitarized zone of parenthood—still responsible for this young adult but with a dwindling arsenal of effective consequences to negotiate with.

This doesn’t feel like freedom. With all your new-found time, backpacking through Europe would be nice; but hostels just won’t cut it anymore. Besides, there aren’t enough vacation days or funds in your partner’s pension plan to slack off yet.

You’re officially redundant! Hang up the chauffeur hat, chef hat, etc. While friends are still operating their parental shuttle service, you no longer have to stop at one glass of wine.

So, you’re interested …

Here are a few articles and resources that got me thinking. Surprisingly, I found no Canadian blogs about Empty Nest, but visit https://emptynestblessed.com/for fantastic inspiration.
