Parent Support

Overcoming Empty Nest Syndrome with the Support of a Life Coach

As children grow up and leave the family home to pursue either education or their life adventures, parents and carers often experience a mix of emotions. This is generally termed Empty Nest Syndrome.

This phase of life can be challenging, even for the most resilient parent. You can be left feeling very alone.

The good news is, professional support, such as that offered by a Life Coach, can make a significant positive impact and can also reduce the time taken to adjust to this new phase.

Understanding Empty Nest Syndrome

Empty Nest Syndrome refers to the feelings of sadness, loneliness, and loss experienced by parents when their children leave home. This transition marks a significant change in family dynamics, potentially triggering emotions of grief and uncertainty.

The effects of Empty Nest Syndrome can include,

Emotional Strain: Parents may feel a mix of emotions. As daily routines change and interactions with children differ from the previous norm, the Empty Nest can be experienced differently from person to person. One person may be excited about having extra time, whereas someone else might feel that they no longer have a purpose.
Identity Shift: With the evolution of parenting roles, it can be challenging to redefine your identity.
Loneliness: The sudden absence of the child in the home, with all the noise and mess that usually accompanies a child being there, it can suddenly be very quiet. Over the years, parents spend a lot of time with their children and when a child leaves the family home, it can leave a big gap.
Relationship Dynamics: Adjusting to the new roles in the relationship with the child may require significant adjustment, this can also be the case with other relationships, primarily spousal relationships.
