How to Cope When Big Kids Leave Home

Are you going through a time of hard change? Whether your son is still small and starting kindergarten or your daughter is leaving home to go to college, motherhood is a series of opportunities to give thanks and let go. I’m sharing some coping strategies to get us through!

Takeaways

  • Allow yourself to feel the emotions associated with your children leaving home, but avoid getting stuck in negativity.

  • Be gentle with yourself and create margins in your daily life to process emotions and adjust to the change.

  • Give yourself grace and acknowledge the need for rest and relaxation during this time.

  • Embrace new opportunities and start something new that brings joy and purpose to your life.

  • Practice gratitude and give thanks for the blessings and experiences of motherhood.
