For many of us, “being a mother” is our primary identity and purpose. Our children have grown under our loving care and so has our connection to them. Then one day, just as our relationship with them is evolving, the realisation dawns, that soon they are gone. The busyness of juggling family, maybe work and a household is gone in a blink and our identity as women undergoes a radical change.

It is a life changing event in our lives, and an experience seldom shared with our partners or even with close friends who have not gone through it. 

Change can be hard for many and the empty nest is very personal and can be difficult to navigate alone. We can experience waves of ‘messy’ emotions, questions and fear. 

Who am I now? How long will I feel like this? What will my life look like now? What am I going to do? What is the meaning of life now and what is my part in it? What should I as a parent look like now? How will my relationship with my partner change when the children are gone?

Come and join us for a talk and sharing on what we can do to make the transition from a full-time mother to an empty nester a smooth, positive and nurturing experience for you as a woman, your children, and the family unit as a whole. Together we will explore how to embrace the Empty Nest.
