Manage episode 344485721 series 2907674
In this short podcast episode, Wendy provides listeners with an update on her abrupt transition to empty nester this fall, including the blindsiding grief she felt this spring and how she worked through it to find the joy on the other side. Since her children are only seven months apart, and in the same grade, they both left their childhood home for university residences the same week. Wendy shares a piece she wrote called “Emptying the Nest” that will resonate with mothers everywhere, where she explores how it feels as your young adult children begin their slow leaving process and then disappear from your home. If you’ve got children (or nieces, nephews or step-kids or godchildren), don’t skip this one – it’s short and bittersweet but also universal in the emotions involved in this natural transition period in midlife. Please feel free to share this episode with any moms (or dads!) you know who are in the thick of this or anticipating the grief to come when it happens! There’s something magical that comes from knowing you’re not alone in your sadness.
