Description
Is your nest empty -- except for a bundle of mixed emotions? As you grieve what's behind and daydream about possibilities, you'll feel young again, ready for new challenges and adventures. Yet you may not know what to pursue or how to discover what's next. Many women in this season of life wonder: Who am I now? And what should I do? How will my marriage be affected? Does anyone need me? How do I relate to my children? Is it okay to feel sad? Or thrilled? What's next?Tags

This book is a must read for anyone approaching or in the middle of becoming an empty nester! We are about 6 years away ourselves baring any returning children. Barbara and Susan have not only done their research on making the transition but they have lived it themselves and interviewed a lot of other women for this book. Their goal is to give us the tools we need to make a smoother transition and to realize that we are not alone nor are we done once the kids leave. It is a jumping off place for us to start a new phase of life. They give us lots of ways to find our next mission once the children are grown and ways to renew our marriages once we are just two again. It is a brilliant read! Just get it! LOL
Feel like I could have written it.
