Spoiler Alert: It’s not about taking up a new hobby or joining a book club!

After dropping your child off for college or watching them close the front door to their tiny apartment across town, many moms experience some version of this story…

“I wasn’t ready to come home to see his empty room. I had to close his door and wait a few days to tear the bandaid off, and then I lay in his room crying, staring at what was left of his childhood—-old soccer trophies, a closet with clothes he left behind, and a box of old toys leftover from his youth. It was hard but healing for me to go through his stuff and remember all the bits I could of those days.”

It’s heartwrenching and at the same time, you need to know it’s totally ok to feel this deeply about your kids leaving the house.

This is a major life milestone.

So if you’re feeling lost, miss being needed, or wonder if anything can ever fill this void, you’re not alone. It’s soooo important to feel your feelings that’s what will help you move forward and not get stuck in the gloom.
