Anticipating empty nesters are waiting for college acceptance letters. Some families have them in hand, and some are
scheduling flights and hotels to take their children on the college tours. Weddings are being planned. Jobs are being
researched for those graduating.
Prayers for our troops and hopes for peace are in our
hearts.
The commonality is all families want the best match for their children and at the same time are in
moments of fears and tears that the emptying is coming closer.
A time of transition, a time of hope, and
a time of new freedom, springs across the lawns today.
Go to friends. Go to planning something just
for you that will care and comfort. A massage, a walk in nature, a captivating book, a candle by a warm bath, music
playing, dinner out in a quiet setting, journaling, and an inner voice that reminds you,

I like it and I am getting it that I just can try to be more playful and see how it goes and I can also do nothing and see how that goes. thanks for all the thoughts
My son is going to college in the fall..I have never felt so sad and know that it’s empty nest syndrome, but really need someone to talk to. Is there a support group I can log on to? Thanks
