How can I cope with empty nest syndrome?
Coping With an Empty Nest
To help make the transition easier when your kids move away from home, and to avoid empty nest syndrome, make plans to travel, go back to college, move to a smaller home -- anything that keeps you busy, especially when the last one leaves. Start preparing early on, because as soon as a baby can walk, he/she wants to run. They want to do things on their own, make decisions on their own, etc. Start planning for "Mom" - BEFORE the kids are gone.
