6 Ways to Reimagine Life After the Empty Nest

[@aliciaw.6754]

Solo mom of one 20 year old son. I live far from my family and my good friends. My son flew the coop one year ago. It’s been soooooo tough and I’m still struggling after a year. He’s not in college, but he moved out (9 hours away) and he has been busy working/ saving money, and traveling the world. I’m SO proud of how independent and resourceful he is - he’s really making a life for himself and I know that it was my job as his parent to raise him this way. But OMG I’m personally so sad and lonely. Raising him was my #1 priority besides work, and now all I have is work. I basically go there, and home, and back again, and that’s all I do. I’m really struggling with making my own happiness outside of being his mom.

[@sixtyandme]

It does take time. Be proud of your son and epic job you did to take him to that place. I know he is hardly appreciate it. I think Lucia . In the 20s and 30s when it’s not expressed directly, but then it all starts to come together. I hope this happens for you.

[@theresaz7082]

Glad I found this video, I'm going through a time in my life where my kids are almost all grown. I've always worked everything around being the best Mom I could. Jobs, friends, hobbies etc...now that they are grown I'm finding myself a bit lost and trying to figure out what I'll do next. I have no idea what my vision is for the future, desperately trying to figure that out now. Honestly wish I would have planned for it more but it always seemed so far away. Hoping and praying that the next 25 years will be as happy as (God willing) the last 25 were but I certainly have my doubts because being a Mom has been my best job! Thank you for the input, it was helpful :)

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

I feel exactly the same, wish there was a support group for us!

[@wavylocks7177]

I feel like I could have written that myself. It exactly matches my sentiments. ❤

[@NurseJaz-i]

I’m 49 and my children are grown with one living overseas. We are about to start our own business in a month, Love to ride motorbikes, sail our boat, paint, spend time with the grandkids, however, I have no female friends because I shifted countries and left my entire social circle behind 10 years ago and with not having my children at home any more the opportunity to meet other ladies has decreased dramatically. I am really missing Having friends and so glad I found you on KZbin!

[@sandrineloron8335]

So happy to have found you ! I was in tears listening for you concerning the empty nest.... My dear son took his own flat two years ago. So hard to live for myself.... Thank you so much. Sandrine, France

[@doryberry8112]

You are right, I still worry about my 3 grown children, I let them be, made mistakes and learn from it. I pray a lot for them, and for me empty nest is not bad I just keep myself busy, mostly go on a road trip for a weekend... Hopefully one day I'll take a vacation to Europe or to Asia my bucket list😍👍🏽

[@afoolsjourney4444]

My 23 year old son was just transferred to BC I’ve never been without him I have just cried myself to sleep for the last 3 days Being a single momma I’m f going to miss his face so much

[@lanilok3696]

I love your new hair cut. I’m amazed at your daily blogs each day, your tea choice and your necklace collection and your topics that make us all think. When our daughter went off to college, we started traveling and discovering how much we enjoyed our time together. Ten years later my husband died and my world seemed to have died. We had plans to move to Europe and live there for awhile. He was a planner and was such a delightful man who loved surprising me. I think our daughter was jealous and maybe a bit peeved that we were enjoying our life without her...

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks Lani for sharing your story. Families are so complex aren't they? Take care x

[@glory5260]

Hi Margaret... I just found your video because I have been struggling with empty nest for a few years now. Feeling lonely and not appreciated for everything I’ve done for my children. Having a really hard time finding who I am right now. Ty for your advice.

[@myjoyisCHRIST]

This is exactly how I feel, And it's bringing up so much feelings of childhood grief and loss at losing my mother as a baby that it is feeling a bit unbearable but I'm hanging in there looking to find support and encouragement because I really want my kids to see that their mother is OK so they don't have to worry about me. I also want to be strong for me and I don't want to cry forever.

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

Same 😞

[@chillieboi2145]

I'm experiencing this right now. Really struggling

[@llr1961]

My kids don't really need me any more. I've probably meddled too much. I do understand that, because it's a trait I don't appreciate in my own mom. I just want to find things I enjoy and not feel too guilty about the past. Learn from it, yes, but learn to move forward in my life.

[@soniathibault3953]

I want to thank you for the kind words and for sharing with us your experience. My daughter is moving out next week and as a single-mom, that is basically a chapter of my life that will come to a beautiful end. But it hurts. I had never thought about what I want the next chapter (s) to look like... I will now thanks to you.

[@JonesLeFae]

I too am a single mom and my youngest will be moving out in August for college. He will be at a local university and living in the dorms, but having the whole house to myself after raising two children here will be quite different. It is truly bittersweet.

[@PahlaB]

Oh my goodness, how timely! I am driving my youngest to college TODAY and have been contemplating just these things. Grateful to hear your thoughts.

[@sixtyandme]

I love color too Pahla! Enjoy your beautiful bohemian self!

[@CindyBennett13]

Looking here for encouragement. Life is changing and it’s been hard especially since I have been a mom for over 30 years and my youngest is 12 still but I am feeling the Strain if kids leaving and feel like they don’t care about me but I know it’s supposed to be their happy life so I need to reinvent a life of my own! Thanks for your wisdom !

[@nanapennypockets6203]

Love the new haircut. Makes you look younger. And love your new teacup and plate. What a happy meal that's going to make. I think I missed the last child leaving home as I was in the process of starting my business plus commuting from NY to FL setting up hospice care for my Mom. Also, youngest, a daughter, ended up working for me weekends and summers so the shift was phased out. After I sold the business and retired, I took up heirloom sewing and starting a free MSN website on that topic. From there I was on to learning Ayrshire embroidery. My 60's was a very challenging and exciting time. And yes - I too worry about my children and the grandchildren. Prayer helps - before they leave, while they are first out, and now married and raising their families. Now ending my 70's - find I'm slowing down so very much, but still learning and trying to make a difference and leave some more footprints.

[@cynthiawest1962]

I just miss him so much.

[@myjoyisCHRIST]

I've been really struggling with my feelings but I must say your video really helped me to focus on what is ahead of me instead of my loss and what is behind me thank you for this video

[@OneAmericanWriter]

Just almost at empty nest 80% of the time ir 90% at age 62 in a new town as a single mom. Challenge! Thanks for doing this it’s very cheerful and helpful!

[@tribbles2955]

Love the haircut. I loved being an empty nester as my husband and I were able to rediscover together why we got married in the first place.One thing we did was meander around our country for 6 week at a time in our little camper. So many women are widowed in the fifties and they never have this delightful situation. I figure we had 32 years before he got sick. I spent 12 years being a full time mother and housewife. During that time I did tons of volunteer work. I don't feel guilty now as I've done my bit but I now happily write generous checks to the charities that are in my giving plan. At this time of my life I don't do much of anything. I take care of my sick husband, travel (my wonderful children share in his care) , read, watch Netflix, etc., keep house, and take care of myself and my own health problems.

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks so much for sharing your story - take good care!

[@annag55]

perfect. my only child left college a few months ago. so good to hear advice and that im on the right track. ive got many plans and contemplating moving to a big city since i am no longer tied to where i live and seeking adventure while still able. thanks!

[@michelleturner2908]

I'm learning to reinvent my life 😊 and live for me at 58 as a single divorced woman. Learning to live life again but this time for myself ☺️❤️

[@vanitagulabrai6293]

Aw I love this! I became an empty nester couple months ago and I too now hangout at the art museums and botanical gardens nearby. I find time spent in nature SO soothing & healing!! 💖

[@JonesLeFae]

That is a beautiful cup! I found this video because I am about to be an empty nester. My youngest just graduated and went off to a European trip yesterday and I am missing him already!

[@evangelinemontes8424]

Your voice is so soothing and comforting.

[@robertabrown4123]

Love your enthusiasm, brings optimism. I'm approaching empty nest and already feelings of aloneness and asking myself what will I do. Want to travel more, have a clean organized house lol, but thinking about work helping others.

[@carolfeingold5379]

Your hair is beautiful! I enjoyed your talk about adult children. Mine are 25 and 35. It’s a journey and we never stop worrying or thinking we know better.

[@gigics1612]

Great episode! I seldom comment, but I am here, and I must let you know that I LOVE you in your new hair style! Although I typically really like longer hair, THIS look is so flattering to you. Honestly, I have been longing to see you make this decision, so I 👍🏼 this look! You look even more lovely than I imagined... not to mention younger! So... I hope you love it and get a million compliments! -Have a great day!

[@sixtyandme]

Thank you so much Gigi - your compliment means a lot to me !

[@patriciarussell7487]

Hair looks lovely! Daughter just moved,started teaching! Hear her side over long comute,and apt. With problems. So,alone, but not worry free!

[@rebeccamcguire8518]

Your hair is the first thing I noticed!! Love the length!! Your necklace looks great with your top. My child is grown, but I help almost daily with one or two grandchildren!

[@stormymary3347]

Thank you so much for your words. My first week in the empty nest now 😙 ❤

[@sixtyandme]

You can do it!

[@gwynethowen1511]

Love the shorter hair cut. More off next time!!! I am so glad that I have found you. At 63 years old, I have no idea what to wear these days. I really enjoy listening to you. It’s like having a friend with me. 💐

[@karenjenkins8571]

Hi I'm Karen, I'm a Mumma of 5, 1 girl & 4 boys and I have been an empty nester for 12 years now, but in saying that I have had some boomerangs over that time. And that is a whole new ball game them they come back home especially if they have partners. I never felt I wanted rush my parenting years as I new one day they would be grown up and I would miss them. But I also looked forward to restarting my own life again, but didn't know what that would look like as I was 19 when I started my family life. I did work and juggled that around school hours, then did the after school activity's run around, and run the house hold. I was exhausted, often wished I could have a day off and just stay in bed. But I finally found the courage to be bold and try things I dreamed about. Going on retreats, started some woman's circles, yoga, getting back into my hobbies, and started an online business so I could so some slow travel and still earn an income for myself and my hubby. I love my life now and I get to enjoy my 12 grandchildren.

[@danessaartist]

Thank you for your hopeful presence ❤️

[@sunnysmilessunshine4060]

Thanks for this video. Great topic and you brought up aspects not 'commonly' addressed. LOVE the hair cut! I just turned 69. Surprise to me! I've always seen myself much younger. This year pinched me with REALITY. After a mega successful career and younger life; the past twenty-twenty-five years have been quite the opposite. New romance, marriage and SUDDEN death of partner! All our plans washed up. Didn't cross my mind this was possible. NOW: I'm faced with 're-evaluating' and building a 'new plan'. Wish I could get my heart into it more. It' ll come. May mean relocating, etc. Gathering options now. In prayer and open to receiving. I Enjoy your channel and find it meaningful~ KUDOS to you~

[@MoniLove143]

Beautiful hairstyle, it looks great on you! Thanks for the tips, I appreciate you so much.

[@beachseeker634]

Love your new haircut Margaret! It's so flattering for your face shape. Thank you for another great topic.

[@lisarosemcpherson944]

So happy I found you from across the pond. So, my baby (I am a mom of six, oldest 37) is leaving to join the Navy in a month. I am lost and feeling overwhelmed. I am happy that he is following his dad's footsteps but being a mom is all I can remember. My husband doesn't seem to get it. You posed great questions that I truly have no answers for. We are relatively new to the area and live in the country. I think this may be harder than raising the kids. But I will be looking for your other content to see if maybe it can jar in my mind where I belong. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Be well.

[@shelley5619]

Your hair is marvelous! There was a lot of food for thought in this video. I just retired last month and I'm trying to find my way into what my next chapter of life will be. I don't want to waste any time because this were more than likely be my last chapter and I want to accomplish things but there's so much to choose from. I'm having a hard time narrowing that down. Thanks for all the thoughts and ideas that you share with us. Love your program.

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks Shelley!

[@denisebissell5875]

Our nest goes from empty to full. Six adult children and a total of 10 grandchildren plus one on the way. All live out of state except 1 unmarried, so when they come to visit it's fun, crazy, tiresome, loud, but happy at same time. Downsizing is not an option right now, but getting rid of "stuff" is going to be a lot easier as one of our children and her family will be moving here soon... So I get to pass on to her many items from my mother and my grandmother that my daughter actually wants!!! So blessed!

[@catinkernow]

Great video. I've had an empty nest for 6 years now. I sometimes wonder how I found time for the family and housework. My passion has always been day trips so I try to do one a week. Evenings in with a group of friends is another good nest filler, we play cards but alternatinely it could be a book club. Another bonus of free time is adult education, here in the UK we have the U3A (university of the third age) which is goldmine of new interests. Hair looks lovely.

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks so much Catherine! I need to check out the U3A - have heard good things!

[@livinginbocaratonflorida]

What a great idea...I love day trips and stay-cations too!

[@kathleenb3096]

Hi Margaret....loving your haircut and new cup! I think the Brits refer to that size of cup as a "morning cup".

[@charlenewhite4365]

Yes… I ‘m new to this only a week out and this is one of them. I can go get my hair and nails done finally!😂 thank you

[@jackieblue6116]

The strange place I’m in, I call “the big empty”. It’s now my time but I feel as a deer in headlights. Not sure what I want to do with all this time. And menopause has left me very fatigued. But I find small things lately that excite me creatively. Hope I turn a corner... love your channel and your lovely energy.

[@MidlifeCredo]

RE-imagine is a good way to put this. My fifth child (of six) leaves TOMORROW and I'm sooo feeling the feels. augh

[@suzieqtify]

Great vlog I've been in the empty nest apart from a boring husband who never wants to travel or do anything these days except to go out and drink with his mates for many years now. Luckily I have two lovely daughters and grown up grandchildren and two great grandchildren and two more on the way and I get to go and stay with both more daughters and visit my grandchildren every couple of months. I fill my time when I'm home going out with a lovely friend, sometimes go on day trips with our local coach company or we just go out for coffee and a cheap lunch and just chat. When I first retired I joined the U3A like another lady on here and I learned French with them and also went to the History lessons. My friend and I are thinking of joining the WI this winter or a similar organisation. 😀

Your hair style is a most becoming look for you ... LOVE it! Makes you look YOUNGER too! Love the gorgeous dishes too!

I think your hair looks really nice. I have grandchildren who are young adults and we live fairly close to whom we meet and can encourage as they do us with their fresh ideas. My one grandson suggests books and when we both read them we can discuss them which is great communication. One of my granddaughter’s loves cooking so we discuss that, the other art so we discuss that - I relish their ideas and that makes me feel vibrant and alive.

[@sixtyandme]

Hi Sandra - thanks for sharing your story - i agree grandchildren can be wonderful!

[@sunnysmilessunshine4060]

Wow, touching some of my buttons: Friendships: I had more 'older' friends; who are no longer here. It's difficult to find people with similar interest at this phase. I find others are off doing their thing, busy with their family or friends, or feel broke and don't have the extra income to do things. ALL this is CHANGING. I've been asking the UNIVERSE to bring 'the right' friends into my life. In my younger years, I imagined I'd be married and enjoying retirement with my husband. OOOPS, didn't plan on a divorce. 10 years later, met the man of my dreams and within 6 WEEKS, he became ill and soon died! OUCH! We had planned a retirement of that "SLOW Travel" you mentioned. Going someplace and staying a month or two, then moving on. Someone recently said to me: "MaryLouise, just because Larry died, doesn't mean your dreams had to die." I found this profound!! Because I had buried our dreams when Larry was no longer here for us to share them. Therefore now, I'd love to find someone who would like to do some 'slow travel' adventures and get going! Thanks Margaret for this video! Your hair, make up, wardrobe and accessories are ALWAYS NICE~. LOVE the cup, saucer, plate! We have similar taste! If it's purple, I'll buy it. : ))

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks MaryLouise for sharing your story - i am so sad you lost the man you loved so much. I hope you find some strength in the articles we have written on Sixty and Me.

This will sound odd but I don't suffer with the empty nest syndrom, I"m suffering with the empty kennel syndrom. I have been an advid hunter and always hunted with dogs. I'm 75 yrs old now. I've seen my dogs get old, struggle, suffer and die. They didn't just move out. I have nursed some of them for months before their passing. Now I have one 11 yr old dog left. I love going with her to the forest and she loves it too. Hunting and being out with my dogs day and night was my life. Now I'm depressed. When I walk past my dog box, I look inside just to get a scent of my beloved dogs. I'm too old to get young dogs. I don't want to die and leave my dogs behind. So I too must reinvent myself. I need a new indentity.
