Book Description
What exactly is the Empty Nest? It is typically the time when our children graduate from high school and either leave for college, join the military, or just move out to start their adult lives. Yes, they leave us! But it's all good, and we just need to know how to better navigate the mixed bag of emotions that this transition creates for us. Our goal for this book was to gather stories about how we as parents are dealing with, or have dealt with, the emotions of our Empty Nest experience. This book describes the Empty Nest and provides insight on how to deal with the emotions of being an empty nester from a life-coaching perspective, as well as guidance to those on the verge of entering the Empty Nest.
