Nancy........welcome to a wonderful site! You will find many ladies that have gone thru or are going thru the Empty Nest Syndrome.
I hate to admit it, but I didn't go thru it.
I was so happy to see my daughters out on their own. I was, and still am very proud of them.
They moved away from here(Olympia, WA) and then came back. So maybe that's why I didn't go thru the ENS.
I know there will be many other women on here to help you thru it.
You've found the right place.
Lynne
