Empty Nesters
"Empty Nesters" refers to parents whose children have grown up and moved out of the family home. This transition often occurs when kids go to college, start their own careers, or establish their own families. As a result, parents may experience a mix of emotions, including freedom, loneliness, or a sense of loss.
During this phase, many Empty Nesters find new opportunities to explore hobbies, travel, or strengthen their relationships. They may also consider downsizing their homes or engaging in community activities. This stage can lead to personal growth and a renewed focus on individual interests and goals.
