Kids are going to need you even if they have flown the coop. They keep coming back.  Especially with the world order and job market now.  Your biggest challenges are still ahead. Getting your kids to college was the easy part.

So, my suggestion for empty nesters in their 50s and 60s is -

1) Clean your diet.  Start eating super healthy to protect your health and grow stronger.  Scary health news can scuttle your life.

2) Exercise like a fiend.  Cardio, bone health, flexibility, stamina.

3) Declutter and minimize your household.  Konmari and swedish death cleanse.

4) Get your will, all legal papers, retirement papers, health directives in order. Make copies for your kids.

5) Improve your social connection with family, friends.  Find new group hobbies.

6) Start travelling.

My 2 cents is not to get into crafts if that is not your deal - it will add to clutter. Not to get a new pet to reduce your loneliness - because a pet is like getting a newborn.  You will curtail your freedom.
