[quote=Anonymous]You need to give yourself permission and space to grieve the ending of this season of your life. Hobbies or a part time job may help give your days structure down the line but they won’t make this period of adjustment and sadness less painful. Either way you need to walk through the hard feelings to get to the good stuff waiting for you in the next phase of your life. I just got the gut punch of my oldest returning to college (I’ll be an empty nester next fall) and allowed myself space to be a puddle all weekend, only wear soft clothes, listen to sad songs, order in, and watch Jane Austen adaptations. I’m already feeling better after having a few days of truly wallowing and feeling the changes now and just around the corner. Good luck OP, we’ll all be in your shoes at some point.[/quote]
