Seniors Feeling Lost? Rediscovering Identity in Aging & Empowering Seniors
Empty Nest Syndrome
Parents often center their lives around their families and children, finding purpose and meaning in caring for them during their formative years. They offer love, support, and guidance as their children grow.
However, as children mature and become independent adults, they move out, starting families of their own. This transition can leave parents feeling a sense of loss, as their roles shift and their children no longer rely on them as they once did. This change can lead to feelings of uncertainty and a search for a renewed sense of purpose and identity.
